Abstract
Fully 3D model of strongly asymmetric tokamak core, based on boundary integral method approach (i.e. characterization of ferromagnet by its surface) is presented. The model is benchmarked on measurements on tokamak GOLEM, as well as compared to 2D axisymmetric core equivalent for this tokamak, presented in previous work.
Linearized model well describes quantitative characteristics of B-R field, generated by poloidal field coils located close to core central column, and distorted by ferromagnet. A discrepancy is seen between linearized form of model for BR field generated by coils under the transformer limbs and the measurements.
Future work will thus include implementation of the non-linearity effects in order to further investigate this issue.
