abstract = {Liquid metal divertors aim to provide a more robust
alternative to conventional tungsten divertors. However,
they still require a solid substrate to confine the liquid
metal. This work proposes a novel design philosophy for
liquid metal divertor targets, which allows for a two orders
of magnitude reduction of thermal stresses compared to the
state-of-the-art monoblock designs. The main principle is
based on a 3D-printed tungsten structure, which has low
connectedness in the direction perpendicular to the thermal
gradient, and as a result also short length scales. This
allows for thermal expansion. Voids in the structure are
filled with liquid lithium which can conduct heat and reduce
the surface temperature via vapor shielding, further
suppressing thermal stresses. To demonstrate the
effectiveness of this design strategy, an existing liquid
metal concept is re-designed, fabricated, and tested on the
linear plasma device Magnum-PSI. The thermo-mechanical
finite element method analysis of the improved design
matches the temperature response during the experiments, and
indicates that thermal stresses are two orders of magnitude
lower than in the conventional monoblock designs. The
relaxation of the strength requirement allows for much
larger failure margins and consequently for many new design
possibilities.},
