Description

The three-dimensional numerical model of ITER, where the design structure was reasonably simplified, was built by computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method. The migration process of dust composed of beryllium in ITER during a LOVA was reproduced. The dust distributions at different heights and moments were analyzed. And it was found that the volume fraction of beryllium dust had a downward trend as the height increases and that the volume fraction of beryllium dust has an upward trend as time went. (authors)
