Abstract

In the present research, molecular dynamics simulation is applied to study the interactions between tungsten dusts and a beryllium plasma-facing material surface. Calculation results show that it is quite difficult for nanometer-size dust particles to damage the plasma-facing material surface, which is different from the micrometer-size ones. The reason may be the size difference between dust and crystal grains. The depth of dust penetration into plasma-facing materials is closely related to the incident velocity, and the impacting angle also plays an important role. Dust and material surface damage is also investigated. Results show that both incident velocity and angle can significantly influence the damage.
