Numerical simulation by finite element modelling of diffusion and transient hydrogen trapping processes in plasma facing components

In order to simulate hydrogen charging and discharging cycles of mechanically loaded structures full 3D Macroscopic Rate Equation (MRE) modelling is proposed based on a finite element method (FEM). The model, implemented in the 3DS Abaqus software, uses a generalized transport equation, which accoun...
