Stress and Thermal Analysis of the In-Vessel Resonant Magnetic Perturbation Coils on the J-TEXT Tokamak

A set of four in-vessel saddle coils was designed to generate a helical field on the J-TEXT tokamak to study the influences of the external perturbation field on plasma. The coils are fed with alternating current up to 10 kA at frequency up to 10 kHz. Due to the special structure, complex thermal environment and limited space in the vacuum chamber, it is very important to make sure that the coils will not be damaged when undergoing the huge electromagnetic forces in the strong toroidal field, and that their temperatures don’t rise too much and destroy the insulation. A 3D finite element model is developed in this paper using the ANSYS code, stresses are analyzed to find the worst condition, and a mounting method is then established. The results of the stress and modal analyses show that the mounting method meets the strength requirements. Finally, a thermal analysis is performed to study the cooling process and the temperature distribution of the coils.     

Stress and Thermal Analysis of the In-Vessel RMP Coils in HL-2M

A set of in-vessel resonant magnetic perturbation(RMP) coils for MHD instability suppression is proposed for the design of a HL-2M tokamak.Each coil is to be fed with a current of up to 5 kA,operated in a frequency range from DC to about 1 kHz.Stainless steel(SS) jacketed mineral insulated cables are proposed for the conductor of the coils.In-vessel coils must withstand large electromagnetic(EM) and thermal loads.The support,insulation and vacuum sealing in a very limited space are crucial issues for engineering design.Hence finite element calculations are performed to verify the design,optimize the support by minimizing stress caused by EM forces on the coil conductors and work out the temperature rise occurring on the coil in diferent working conditions,the corresponding thermal stress caused by the thermal expansion of materials is evaluated to be allowable.The techniques to develop the in-vessel RMP coils,such as support,insulation and cooling,are discussed.
