Abstract Nuclear fusion can be a zero-carbon energy source and it has been considered scientifically viable. There are a few national projects that aim to incorporate this technology in the country. For instance, the Brazilian Navy is currently designing and producing its own nuclear-powered submarine. In this context, this scientific initiation project aims to study and simulate a Tokamak, the system that holds a nuclear fusion reactor. This project is part of a Young Investigators Project on design optimization of offshore structures and shall build upon codes developed by the team. First, the superconductive coil will be simulated. Then, a structural analysis will be carried out to verify the structural integrity of the chosen system. This represents a complex, integrated system requiring Multiphysics simulations across the thermal, electromagnetic, structural, and fluid flow. (AU) | |
