Abstract

The paper is focused on a numeric approach and results of a detailed analysis of transient electromagnetic processes in ITER thermal shield for regular and irregular equatorial ports of the vacuum vessel. The analysis has been carried out with the use of the special dedicated TYPHOON code. The detailed electromagnetic (EM) analyses have been carried out to predict EM loads on the thermal shield. The analysis is based on a 3D finite element (FE) representation of the thermal shield components using a thin shell approximation.
