Simulation of arc crater formation and evolution on plasma facing materials

Arc erosion on plasma facing materials in tokamak devices is a potential source of impurities and dust in plasma. A two dimensional axially symmetric COMSOL model with heat transfer, fluid dynamics including phase transition and surface tension effect has been used to describe the formation and evol...
