The thesis presented summarizes the work made during the Internship, 6 months long, at Culham Centre for Fusion Energy, UK's national fusion research laboratory. The core of this thesis is the study of the heat transfer effects under high power distributions, on devices located inside the Joint European Torus (JET), experimental reactor for fusion energy. The model developed is able to set safety operation limits for the scientific operations and predict the effect of the high power density distributions on future pulses, anticipating critical conditions able to damage the devices used. The thesis has been developed on complex instruments, with the target to decrease the terms of uncertainty around the world of the fusion energy. Some appendixes have been introduced with models implemented to support and deepen the topics covered.

Abstract

The thesis presented summarizes the work made during the Internship, 6 months long, at Culham Centre for Fusion Energy, UK's national fusion research laboratory. The core of this thesis is the study of the heat transfer effects under high power distributions, on devices located inside the Joint European Torus (JET), experimental reactor for fusion energy. The model developed is able to set safety operation limits for the scientific operations and predict the effect of the high power density distributions on future pulses, anticipating critical conditions able to damage the devices used. The thesis has been developed on complex instruments, with the target to decrease the terms of uncertainty around the world of the fusion energy. Some appendixes have been introduced with models implemented to support and deepen the topics covered.
