Abstrakt: During plasma disruption events in Tokamaks, a considerable amount of magnetic and thermal energy is associated to the transfer of plasma current into eddy and Halo currents. In this paper, a predictive numerical modelling is described concerning plasma-wall interactions during disruptive instabilities. Preliminary results are presented, giving an estimation of heat transfer interaction with electromagnetic phenomena. Eddy currents and heat deposition increase significantly with decreasing disruption time. An estimation of the order of magnitude of Halo currents and associated forces on plasma-facing conducting components is also presented.
