In essence, the magnetic configuration hereby `diverts' the plasma to a specific divertor structure. The design of this divertor is still a key issue to be resolved to evolve from experimental fusion tokamaks to commercial power plants. The focus of this dissertation is on one particular design requirement: avoiding excessive heat loads on the divertor structure. The divertor design process is assisted by plasma edge transport codes that simulate the plasma and neutral particle transport in the edge of the reactor. These codes are computationally extremely demanding, not in the least due to the complex collisional processes between plasma and neutrals that lead to strong radiation sinks and macroscopic heat convection near the vessel walls. One way of improving the heat exhaust is by modifying the magnetic confinement that governs the plasma flow. In this dissertation, automated design of the magnetic configuration is pursued using adjoint based optimization methods. A simple and fast perturbation model is used to compute the magnetic field in the vacuum vessel. A stable optimal design method of the nested type is then elaborated that strictly accounts for several nonlinear design constraints and code limitations. Using appropriate cost function deffnitions, the heat is spread more uniformly over the high-heat load plasma-facing components in a practical design example. Furthermore, practical in-parts adjoint sensitivity calculations are presented that provide a way to an efficient optimization procedure. Results are elaborated for a fictituous JET (Joint European Torus) case [...] 000829752 536__ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF3-174$$a174 - Plasma-Wall-Interaction (POF3-174)$$cPOF3-174$$fPOF III$$x0 000829752 650_7 $$xDiss. 000829752 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/829752/files/Energie_Umwelt_365.pdf$$yOpenAccess 000829752 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/829752/files/Energie_Umwelt_365.gif?subformat=icon$$xicon$$yOpenAccess 000829752 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/829752/files/Energie_Umwelt_365.jpg?subformat=icon-1440$$xicon-1440$$yOpenAccess 000829752 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/829752/files/Energie_Umwelt_365.jpg?subformat=icon-180$$xicon-180$$yOpenAccess 000829752 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/829752/files/Energie_Umwelt_365.jpg?subformat=icon-640$$xicon-640$$yOpenAccess 000829752 909CO $$ooai:juser.fz-juelich.de:829752$$pdnbdelivery$$pVDB$$pdriver$$popen_access$$popenaire 000829752 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0510$$2StatID$$aOpenAccess 000829752 915__ $$0LIC:(DE-HGF)CCBY4$$2HGFVOC$$aCreative Commons Attribution CC BY 4.0 000829752 9141_ $$y2017 000829752 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)5008462-8$$6P:(DE-Juel1)156199$$aForschungszentrum Jülich$$b0$$kFZJ 000829752 9131_ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF3-174$$1G:(DE-HGF)POF3-170$$2G:(DE-HGF)POF3-100$$3G:(DE-HGF)POF3$$4G:(DE-HGF)POF$$aDE-HGF$$bEnergie$$lKernfusion$$vPlasma-Wall-Interaction$$x0 000829752 920__ $$lyes 000829752 9201_ $$0I:(DE-Juel1)IEK-4-20101013$$kIEK-4$$lPlasmaphysik$$x0 000829752 9801_ $$aFullTexts 000829752 980__ $$aphd 000829752 980__ $$aVDB 000829752 980__ $$aUNRESTRICTED 000829752 980__ $$abook 000829752 980__ $$aI:(DE-Juel1)IEK-4-20101013 000829752 981__ $$aI:(DE-Juel1)IFN-1-20101013
