Description
A numerical method, using finite element analysis, has been developed to investigate the eddy currents induced in metallic components such as the vacuum vessel, the first wall and the limiters, of a magnetic fusion reactor. The devices are treated as thin shells thus reducing the three dimensional problem to a two-dimensional one due to the shallow skin depth of the eddy current. (U.K.)
