Adhesion force of W dust on tokamak W plasma-facing surfaces: The importance of the impact velocity
The adhesion of tungsten (W) dust particles on W tokamak plasma-facing surfaces is investigated. When spherical dust hits the tokamak walls, its shape is altered as a contact area is created by the adhesion work and irreversible plastic deformation. The van der Waals adhesion force between such a de...
