Design of new resonant magnetic perturbation coils on the J-TEXT tokamak

The resonant magnetic perturbation(RMP)system is a powerful auxiliary system on tokamaks.On the J-TEXT tokamak,a set of new in-vessel coils is designed to enhance the amplitude of the RMP.The new coils are designed to be two-turn saddle coils.These two-turn saddle coils have been optimized in terms of their structure,support,and protection components to overcome the limitations of the narrow in-vessel space,resulting in a compact coil module that can be accommodated in the vessel.To verify the feasibility of this design,an electromagnetic simulation is performed to investigate the electrical parameters and the generated field of the coils.A multi-field coupled simulation is performed to investigate the capacity of heat dissipation.As a result of these efforts,the new RMP coils have been successfully installed on the J-TEXT tokamak.It has significantly enhanced the RMP amplitude and been widely applied in experiments.

Method of measuring rotation speed of high spinning projectile based on plane magnetic induction coil

For the test of rotation speed of high spinning projectile, the general formula of the motional electromotive force （MEMF） of planar magnetic induction coil （PMIC） is derived in case of 3D rotation in a stable magnetic field. Under a reasona-ble assumption, the MEMF of PMIC is simplified after the aforementioned general formula is used to calculate high spinning PMIC in the geomagnetic field environment. The determination approach of half-cycle is discussed and the method of rotation speed test is studied, and a test is conducted in the paper. The rotation speed curve obtained by the approach in this paper is consistent with the curve by telemetry.

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, Jt 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 in- sulation. 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.

Modeling of Stochastic Magnetic Perturbation by RWMEF-Coils on NSTX

A 3-D field line integration code, TRIP3D has been modified to model stochastic magnetic perturbation produced by a resistive wall mode, error field （ RWMEF ） coil in the NSTX tokamak with very low aspect ratio. The RWMEF-coil has two turns, which may produce stochastic fields with the toroidal mode number of n = 1 or 3. In this study, it is found that the stochastic field of n = 3 is larger than that of n=-1 for the same coil current. Two divertor discharges with lower single null （ LSN ） and double null （ DN ） configurations in the NSTX have been modeled with different RWMEF-coil currents and toroidal modes.

Piezoelectric Pump Used in Bionic Underwater Propulsion Unit

A new piezoelectric pump can pump liquid either forward or backward and adjust the flow rate. Thus an object can be driven forward or backward at different speeds. The driver of the pump, a circular piezoelectric plate, is modelled by Finite Element Method （FEM） in ANSYS and its performance is simulated and analyzed. The pump gives the best performance when the driving signals of the inlet and outlet valves have a bigger duty cycle and the plate has a higher voltage applied.

Recent Advances in ^(19)Fluorine Magnetic Resonance Imaging with Perfluorocarbon Emulsions

The research roots of 19fluorine （19F） magnetic resonance imaging （MRI） date back over 35 years. Over that time span, 1H imaging flourished and was adopted worldwide with an endless array of applications and imaging approaches, making magnetic resonance an indispensable pillar of biomedical diagnostic imaging. For many years during this timeframe, 19F imaging research continued at a slow pace as the various attributes of the technique were explored. However, over the last decade and particularly the last several years, the pace and clinical relevance of 19F imaging has exploded. In part, this is due to advances in MRI instrumentation, ~gF/1H coil designs, and ultrafast pulse sequence development for both preclinical and clinical scanners. These achievements, coupled with interest in the molecular imaging of anatomy and physiology, and combined with a cadre of innovative agents, have brought the concept of ~gF into early clinical evaluation. In this review, we attempt to provide a slice of this rich history of research and development, with a particular focus on liquid perfluorocarbon compound-based agents.

Attitude stabilization of a pico-satellite by momentum wheel and magnetic coils

The three-axis active attitude control method with a momentum wheel and magnetic coils for a pico-satellite is considered. The designed satellite is a 2.5 kg class satellite stabilized to nadir pointing. The momentum wheel performs a pitch-axis momentum bias, nominally spinning at a particular rate. Three magnetic coils are mounted perpendicularly along the body axis for precise attitude control through the switch control mechanism. Momentum wheel start up control, damping control and attitude acquisition control are considered. Simulation results show that the proposed combined control laws for the pico-satellite is reliable and has an appropriate accuracy under different separation conditions. The proposed strategy to start up the wheel after separation from the launch vehicle shows that its pitch momentum wheel can start up successfully to its nominal speed from rest, and the attitude convergence can be completed within several orbits, depending on separation conditions.

Design of SC solenoid with high homogeneity

A novel kind of SC（superconducting） solenoid coil is designed to satisfy the homogencity requirement of the magnetic field.In this paper,we first calculate the current density distribution of the solenoid coil section through the linear programming method.Then a traditional solenoid and a nonrectangular section solenoid are designed to produce a central field up to 7 T with a homogencity to the greatest extent.After comparision of the two solenoid coils designed in magnet field quality,fabrication cost and other aspects,the new design of the nonrectangular section of a solenoid coil can be realized through improving the techniques of framework fabrication and winding.Finally,the outlook and error analysis of this kind of SC magnet coil are also discussed briefly.
