Note
For recent presentations and papers on liquid wall research by the APEX team see website:

Presented to the Academy's "Fusion Science Assessment Committee", November 17, 1999, Seattle, WA
Liquid Wall Research Advances the Science and
Energy Goals of Fusion in a Perfect Fit
· If we can make liquid walls work:
They might tremendously enhance the attractiveness of fusion
energy
· But to make liquid walls work requires Understanding and Solving a
number of Challenging Scientific Issues
- Research on these scientific issues will push the frontiers of
several scientific disciplines such as plasma-liquid interaction,
free-surface turbulence, and magnetohydrodynamics
- Advances are needed in theory, modelling, computer simulation,
