Study of lithium vapor flow in a detached divertor using DSMC code

A detached divertor is predicted to be necessary to handle the heat fluxes of a demonstration fusion power plant. The lithium vapor box divertor localizes dense lithium vapor to cause stable detachment. This localization is formed by local evaporation and nearby condensation. We provide a simulation...
