The spherical torus or spherical tokamak (ST) is a member of the tokamak family with its
aspect ratio (A= R 0/a) reduced to A∼ 1.5, well below the normal tokamak operating range …

Edge fluid–plasma/kinetic–neutral SOLPS [1, 2] modeling of lithium (Li) transport and its
effect on the edge plasma during real-time Li injection H-mode discharge on the EAST …

A set-up for co-deposition of lithium–deuterium mixed films and in situ thermal desorption
spectroscopy is described. The set-up consists of a HV chamber with a magnetron discharge …

Lithium conditioned plasma facing surfaces have lowered recycling and enhanced plasma
performance on many fusion devices. However, the nature of the plasma–lithium surface …

Liquid metal plasma facing components (LMPFC) have shown a potential to supplant solid
plasma facing components materials in the high heat flux regions of magnetic confinement …

The dynamics of a thin liquid film on the underside of a curved cylindrical substrate is
studied. The evolution of the liquid layer is investigated as the film thickness and the radius …

We investigate the Rayleigh-Taylor instability of a thin viscous film coating the inside of a
spherical substrate. The aim of this work is to find and characterize the instability pattern in …

Pendant drops suspended on the underside of a wet substrate are known to accumulate
fluid from the surrounding thin liquid film, a process that often results in drip**. The growth …

As the use of liquid metals in plasma facing components becomes more widespread, it is
important to investigate how these liquid metals interact with the surfaces onto which they …

We investigate the Rayleigh–Taylor instability of a thin liquid film coated on the inside of a
cylinder whose axis is orthogonal to gravity. We are interested in the effects of geometry on …
