Experiments and modelling on ASDEX Upgrade and WEST in support of tool development for tokamak reactor armour melting assessments

The risk of metallic armour melting constitutes a major concern for ITER and DEMO. Combined computational and experimental effort has led to a successful understanding of melt dynamics in present-day tokamaks, but there remain unexplored melting regimes of relevance to future reactors. Analysis of r...
