Stress and Thermal Analysis of the In-Vessel RMP Coils in HL-2M

A set of in-vessel resonant magnetic perturbation （RMP） coils for MHD instability suppression is proposed for the design of a HL-2M tokamak. Each coil is to be fed with a current of up to 5 kA, operated in a frequency range from DC to about I kHz. Stainless steel （SS） jacketed mineral insulated cables are proposed for the conductor of the coils. In-vessel coils must withstand large electromagnetic （EM） and thermal loads. The support, insulation and vacuum sealing in a very limited space are crucial issues for engineering design. Hence finite element calculations are performed to verify the design, optimize the support by minimizing stress caused by EM forces on the coil conductors and work out the temperature rise occurring on the coil in different working conditions, the corresponding thermal stress caused by the thermal expansion of materials is evaluated to be allowable. The techniques to develop the in-vessel RMP coils, such as support, insulation and cooling, are discussed.

HL-2M欧姆测试线圈的水冷计算优化

利用ANSYS CFX有限元程序建立了HL-2M欧姆测试线圈和冷却水模型,应用热传导和对流换热方程建立了流固边界层,对线圈的温升和冷却进行了流固耦合计算。计算结果表明,线圈由焦耳热引起的最高温升与电流密度、等效放电运行时间有关,而冷却水流量对最高温升影响较小,冷却水流量主要决定线圈的冷却时间间隔的长度,欧姆测试线圈的最长冷却时间间隔为5min。
