Modelling of Carbon Erosion and Transport at Divertor Target Plate Using a Suite of Codes

To investigate carbon‐based material erosion and ensuing eroded carbon species density distribution, a Particle‐In‐Cell Monte Carlo collision code plus a plasma‐surface interaction code were combined with a Monte Carlo impurity transport code ITCD. It is found that a “density hill” forms at a distance of 3‐4 mm from divertor target plate under certain circumstances: high plasma temperature, small incident angle and strength of the magnetic field. By means of the study with the combined code on several scenarios with different plasma temperatures, the incident angles and strengths of the magnetic field, the simulation results reveal that they have a significant influence on the chemical erosion of carbon‐based material and the spatial distribution of eroded carbon species density above divertor target plate: the eroded carbon species density is smaller at a lower plasma temperature; the scenario with smaller incident angle and greater strength of the magnetic field can reduce the chemical erosion of carbon‐based material and the eroded carbon species density above divertor target plate evidently (© 2011 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

空间平均的角度散斑相关粗糙度测量模拟研究

角度散斑相关是一种不受表面粗糙度轮廓的间距特性影响的粗糙度幅度参量测量方法,它的数学模型通常建立在集平均的基础上。通过模拟计算随机粗糙表面的远场散斑场,以散斑图面上的空间平均代替常规的集平均来计算角度散斑相关系数,并应用集平均的数学模型反演粗糙度参量。结果证实了这种空间平均角度散斑相关粗糙度测量方法的有效性,在同一表面只需对少数个区域进行测量并对测得的粗糙度参量取平均,即可获得足够的测量精度。对于Rq大于2.0μm的表面,测量相对误差小于15%。根据最佳测量条件,该方法适用于大粗糙度表面。

Angular distributions of H2 desorbed from the (100), (110), and (111) faces of copper crystals

The angular distributions of hydrogen molecules desorbed from copper have been measured for single-crystal surfaces of three different orientations: (100), (110), and (111). The surfaces were cleaned to the degree that the impurities were below the level of detection by Auger electron spectroscopy. The angular distributions were all significantly more peaked at the surface normal than the distribution corresponding to diffuse emission, i.e., where the molecular flux is proportional to cos θ, where θ is the angle measured from the surface normal. We have characterized the observed angular distributions by fitting the emperical expression cos^dθ to the data, where d is an adjustable parameter. The results are: d ≈ 5 for (100); d ≈ 2.5 for (110); d ≈ 6 for (111). The distributions are nearly symmetric about the azimuthal angle between the plane of detection and the principal axes of the surface lattice. Possible models are considered.     

Generation of vortices by gravity waves on a water surface

The generation of a vortex motion on a water surface by gravity waves at frequencies of 3 and 4 Hz and wavelengths of 17 and 9.7 cm, respectively, has been studied experimentally. It has been shown that the results can be described by a model of the formation of a vorticity by nonlinear waves. It has been shown for the first time that the vorticity amplitude on a water surface depends on the phase difference between the waves propagating at an angle of 90° with respect to each other and with a period of 360°. A quadratic dependence of the surface vorticity amplitude on the angular amplitude of the waves has been observed. Transfer of the energy of the vortex motion from the pumping region to a larger scale has been discovered.

Light scattering properties of a rough-ended optical fibre

Uniform wide-angle irradiation of a laser beam is achieved by roughening chemically the output end of an optical fibre. The angular distribution of the scattered light is analysed experimentally as a function of the incident angle of the laser beam into the input end of the fibre and the length of the rough core surface at its output end.     

An angular cutoff composite model for investigation on electromagnetic scattering from two-dimensional rough sea surfaces

Based on the local configuration angle division to select the corresponding method for electromagnetic scattering calculation from rough sea surface,this paper presents an angular cutoff composite model:when the local scattered angle is in the specular region that is given by an approximately 20 degrees cone around the specular direction,the Kirchhoff approximation is applied to evaluate the specular reflection,which dominates the total scattering in this region;the small perturbation method is employed to handle the diffuse reflection which is predominant as the local scattered angle is situated out of the specular region.Numerical results are compared with those of experimental and theoretical models in several configurations as a function of incident angle,wind speed,wind direction.The comparison of numerical results of other experimental and theoretical models in several configurations shows that the new composite model is robust to give accurate numerical evaluations for the sea surface scattering.     

Light scattering by a spheroidal bubble with geometrical optics approximation

This paper proposes the spheroidal model for analyzing the light scattering characteristics of an air bubble. The angular distributions of light scattered by a large spheroidal bubble with end-on incidence are calculated using geometrical optics approximation. The divergence factor, diffraction, and phase shift are considered in the computation. The MATLAB code was developed and verified using the Mie result for a spherical bubble, and the scattering patterns of the two methods agreed well. The effects on the scattering properties are analyzed in terms of the size and shape parameter of the bubble and the incident beam width. The relations between the deviation angle and incident angle, emergent light intensity, and scattering angle are analyzed and used to explain the scattering patterns of a spheroidal bubble.

Scattering of O? from a graphite surface

Recently an extensive series of measurements has been presented for the angular distributions of oxygen molecules scattered from a graphite surface. Incident translational energies ranged from 291 to 614 meV with surface temperatures from 150 to 500 K. The measurements were taken with a fixed angle of 90° between the source beam and the detector and the angular distributions consisted of a single broad peak with the most probable intensity located at an angle slightly larger than the 45° specular position. Analysis with the hard cubes model for atom-surface scattering indicated that the scattering is primarily a single collision event with a surface having a collective effective mass much larger than a single carbon atom. Limited analysis with a classical diatomic molecular scattering theory was also presented. In this paper a more complete analysis using the classical diatomic molecular scattering theory is presented. The energy and temperature dependence of the observed angular distributions are well described as single collision events with a surface having an effective mass of 1.8 carbon graphite rings. In agreement with the earlier analysis and with other experiments, this suggests a large cooperative response of the carbon atoms in the outermost graphene layer.     

Estimation of surface roughness effect on spectral characteristics of tone signals propagating along stationary paths in a shallow sea

Scattering of a tonal low-frequency (up to 400 Hz) acoustic signal on a rough surface during its propagation along stationary paths in a shallow water area is considered. A calculation technique of estimating the spectral power density of the signal scattered at wind waves (reverberation) given an arbitrary angular distribution of the wind wave is developed based on the Bragg scattering model. The obtained results are compared with the results of numerical simulation of resonant sound scattering at surface perturbations according to an algorithm proposed by the authors, as well as with the results of experimental investigations.     

Angular distribution of electron temperature and density in a laser-ablation plume

The angular distribution of electron temperature and density in a laser-ablation plume has been studied for the first time. The electron temperature ranges from 0.1 to 0.5 eV and is only weakly dependent on the angle in the low-intensity range studied here. In contrast, the typical ion energy is about 2 orders of magnitude larger, and its angular distribution is more peaked about the target normal. The derived values of the electron density are in agreement with the measured values of ion density.     

Enhanced transmission through randomly rough surfaces

We present an experimental and theoretical study of two enhancement effects that occur in the transmission of light through a thin metal film whose illuminated surface is a one-dimensional random surface while its back surface is planar. The first is a well defined peak in the antispecular direction in the angular distribution of the intensity of the incoherent component of the transmitted light (enhanced transmission). The second is an additionally well defined peak in the forward direction in the angular distribution of the intensity of the incoherent component of the transmitted light, when the illuminated surface is not only randomly rough but has even symmetry as well (enhanced refraction). A fully automated bidirectional reflectometer has been used to measure the intensity of the incoherent component of He-Ne laser light transmitted through gold and silver films of these two types and the results are compared with the predictions of theoretical calculations of the enhancement effects.
