A transformation group for proportional movement is defined. Under the proportional movement transformation groups, necessary and sufficient conditions for self-similarity of multilevel structures are presented. The characteristic topology of snowflake-like fractal patterns, identical to the topology of ternary-segment fractal line, is proved. Moreover, the topological evolution of N-segment line is explored. The concepts of limit growth and infinite growth are clarified,and the corresponding growth conditions are derived. The topological invariant properties of N-segment line are exposed. In addition, the proposition that the topological evolution of the N-segment line is mainly controlled by the topological invariant N is verified.展开更多

Recently, CFETR was redesigned with a larger size and will be operated in two phases. To reduce the heat flux on the target plate, a snowflake(SF)divertor configuration is proposed. In this paper we show that by adding two dedicated poloidal field(PF) coils, the SF configuration can be achieved in both phases. The equilibria were calculated by TEQ code for a range of self-inductances l_i3. The coil currents were calculated at some fiducial points in the flattop phase. The results indicate that the PF coil system has the ability to maintain a long flattop phase in 7.5 and 10 MA inductive scenarios for the single null divertor(SND) and SF divertor configurations. The properties of the SF configuration were also analyzed. The connection length and flux expansion of the SF divertor were both increased significantly over the SND.展开更多
