Understanding how turbulence drains heat from fusion reactors
Understanding how turbulence drains heat from fusion reactors
Princeton NJ (SPX) Feb 24, 2016 -
The life of a subatomic particle can be hectic. The charged nuclei and
electrons that zip around the vacuum vessels of doughnut-shaped fusion
machines known as tokamaks are always in motion. But while that motion
helps produce the fusion reactions that could power a new class of
electricity generator, the turbulence it generates can also limit those
reactions.
Now, physicists at the U.S. D ...
