摘要: The HIT-PSI is a linear plasma device built for physically simulating the high heat flux environment of future reactor divertors to test/develop advanced target plate materials. In this study, the geometry-modified SOLPS-ITER program is employed to examine the effects of the magnetic field strength and neutral pressure in the device on the heat flux experienced by the target plate of the HIT-PSI device. The findings of the numerical simulation indicate a positive correlation between the magnetic field strength and the heat flux density. Conversely, there is a negative correlation observed between the heat flux density and the neutral pressure. When the magnetic field strength at the axis exceeds 1 tesla and the neutral pressure falls below 10 Pa, the HIT-PSI has the capability to attain a heat flux of 10 MW·m-2 at the target plate. The simulation results offer a valuable point of reference for subsequent experiments at HIT-PSI.
