Numerical Electromagnetics Simulations of the Leakage Through the Pump-out Holes in the DISC Electromagnetic Interference Shield
- Lawrence Livermore National Lab. (LLNL), Livermore, CA (United States)
In order to prevent electromagnetic interference (EMI) from affecting the DISC diagnostic, an EMI shield was added. Figure 1 is a cross section from a CAD model of DISC and shows the EMI shield in situ. The shield is orange and at the top of the figure. Figure 2 is a drawing of just the EMI shield. The slit in the center of the EMI shield is covered by a metal mesh, which is not shown in this drawing. The small holes toward the base of the conical portion of the EMI shield are the pump-out holes, and the electromagnetic leakage through these holes is the subject of this report1. An alternate design for the EMI shield is considered in order to determine how to increase the EMI effectiveness of the pump-out holes in the shield without compromising the flow rate through the shield. Both the original and alternate designs are simulated and compared.
