概要 Tungsten, in the form of a macrobrush, is seen as one of the candidate materials for the ITER divertor. The melting of tungsten, melt motion and melt splashing are expected to be the main mechanisms of surface damage, which determines the lifetime of plasma-facing components. Experiments with long-time plasma action at the metallic surface in a strong magnetic field demonstrate that the J x B force generated by thermo-emission electrons dominates in the acceleration of the melt layer and leads to high target damage. In this paper, numerical simulations of tungsten target damage caused by the long-time plasma heat loads supporting the TEXTOR experiments are performed by the MEMOS code. The calculated tungsten target damage is in good agreement with the target damage observed in the TEXTOR experiments, which allows projections of surface damage to be made at ITER and DEMO conditions.
