A Modular Stellarator Divertor

Modular stellarators, like continuous-helix steliarators, are characterized by a magnetic limiter and built-in divertor. We have found this divertor to be modular in nature. The magnetic structure of the divertor has been studied numerically for several different configurations. The divertor consists of a number of small localized flux bundles which resemble bundle divertors distributed over the torus. The impact of the divertor system on experimental design and a conceptual reactor study has been investigated in some detail.
