Abstract

ELM (edge localized mode) coils are key components of ITER that suppress the edge localized mode phenomenon. A giant electromagnetic force is generated during normal operations by the current flowing in the ELM coils interacting with the external background field. The Lorentz force will induce Tresca stress in the ELM coils. If the load goes beyond the allowable threshold, the coils can hardly satisfy the safety requirements. The right-hand bottom corner was chosen to perform our electromagnetic analyses. Based on the Maxwell equation, the detailed magnetic field and Lorentz force were calculated. By use of the finite element software ANSYS, the Tresca stress was extracted and evaluated based on our analytical design. The present analysis aims to verify the feasibility of the current design. It can also serve as guidance for fabrication and structural optimization.
