Abstract

A successful experimental implementation of the wall heat flux estimator algorithm has been demonstrated at TCV tokamak. Good agreement with the IR camera is achieved with respect to estimation of the peak heat flux and its location in the poloidal plane for limiter plasma discharges. The heat load distribution on the TCV central column tiles derived using the SMITER GUI is successfully bench-marked against the deposited heat flux measured by the IR camera. The experimental validation of the model based approach accounting for 3D effects of the plasma facing components on TCV demonstrates the RT operational feasibility of the wall heat flux algorithm developed for ITER.
