The present paper reports a detailed analysis of disruptions in the IGNITOR tokamak. Two different numerical models are used (one axisymmetric, the other three-dimensional), in order to validate the results and to highlight specific effects due to different assumptions. The results show a good agreement between the two codes, when similar assumptions are made, and highlight the potential significance of three-dimensional effects. © 2015 Elsevier B.V.

Abstract
The present paper reports a detailed analysis of disruptions in the IGNITOR tokamak. Two different numerical models are used (one axisymmetric, the other three-dimensional), in order to validate the results and to highlight specific effects due to different assumptions. The results show a good agreement between the two codes, when similar assumptions are made, and highlight the potential significance of three-dimensional effects. © 2015 Elsevier B.V.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
