Divertor positioning during parameter sweeps #731

Open P-S-S-M opened 3 years ago

P-S-S-M commented 3 years ago

Hello,

I have been using the great Paramak for some parameter sweeps of different major radii. I use the BallReactor and change the major radius by increasing the empty volume within the centre column. This causes the divertor section to move away from the region in which the strike points are likely to be if the divertor width remains unchanged. Is it possible to tie the divertor position to the X-Point?

Thanks, Sam

There is a parameter for the diver width that sounds like what you want.

There is also property of the plasma that returns the coordinates of the hight point.

https://paramak.readthedocs.io/en/main/paramak.parametric_components.html#plasmafrompoints

high_point (tuple of 2 floats) – the (x,z) coordinate values of the top of the plasma (cm).

https://paramak.readthedocs.io/en/main/paramak.parametric_reactors.html

divertor_radial_thickness (float) – the radial thickness of the divertor (cm), this fills the gap between the center column shield and blanket

Perhaps a combination of these two will work for you. Let us know how it goes
