Downing, J N; Werley, K A; Gamble, M T

A model for the scrape-off layer (SOL) in Reversed-Field Pinches (RFPs) was developed to evaluate the wall heat flux distribution in CPRF/ZTH. Design options for high heat flux areas have been evaluated. A finite element model was used to determine the front-surface temperature and the thermally-induced stresses in the graphite. 2 refs., 10 figs.
