Abstract
The paper presents procedures which have been developed for a quantitative analysis of the divertor power deposition at Wendelstein 7-X. The evelopment of these tools is motivated by the need to compare and verify scientific and engineering predictions with experimental measurements. The measurements have been performed by means of the thermographic diagnostic system, capable of exploring the divertor heat loads, with the aim to study the heat load symmetry, compare footprint patterns with theoretical expectations, but also investigate leading edges and divertor misalignment. In order to compare measurements and numerical calculations, an accurate mapping between the camera data, the divertor geometry and the 3D CAD models has been constructed. This mapping allows to find a correspondence between the data in different representations, simplifying data interpolation and visualization. This also provides a high resolution model of the target surface to compare numerical heat deposition calculations with experimental results from different cameras.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
