Characterizing the Movement of Contaminant Liquid Metal Particles when subject to Electric Pulses, within the Context of Z-pinch Fusion Reactors
… liquid metal surfaces, in Z-pinch fusion reactors. These ejecta present significant contamination risks to plasma fuel in fusion reactors. The study employed a liquid electrode setup, exposing a eutectic tin-bismuth mixture to high-current pulses. Particle motion was tracked …

Modeling the Dynamics of Liquid Metal in Fusion Liquid Walls Using Maxwell-Navier-Stokes Equations
… of the liquid metal wall's free surface in Z-pinch fusion devices. This research is conducted in the context of utilizing liquid metals as plasma-facing components in fusion reactors. In the Z-pinch fusion process, electric current travels through a plasma column and enters into a pool of …

Using Machine Learning to Generate a Surrogate Model for Plasma-Surface Interactions
… of the sheared-flow-stabilized (SFS) z-pinch fusion experiment at the University of Washington for graphite and tungsten walls. The trained network then approximates plasma-surface interactions for conditions relevant to the SFS z-pinch fusion experiment. Connecting this model to a …
