Description

Optimal double-T bundle divertor configurations have been obtained for the Fusion Engineering Device. On-axis ripple is minimized, while satisfying a series of engineering constraints. The ensuing nonlinear optimization problem is solved via a sequence of quadratic programming subproblems, using the VMCON software. The resulting divertor designs are substantially improved over previous configurations
