Optimization of a large-area grid electrode for negative ion source in fusion neutral beam injector by Jinhong Wang, Yan Wang, Yuwen Yang, Yuming Gu, Yahong Xie, Lizhen Liang, Jianglong Wei

“…First, the grid temperature, thermal stress and thermal deformation are compared with an inlet water rate of 1.21 kg/s at 35 °C, and the channel forming methods and welding types mechanisms are compared. The simulation results show that the thermos-mechanical property of double bending channels is the best, and that of double straight channels is slightly worse. …”
