Popis: Eddy current and magnetic force analysis during disruption of single-null divertor plasma has been carried out for a vacuum vessel of a tokamak device by using a code system, MATEX, which was developed for this purpose. The electromagnetic behavior during a disruption with plasma motion is emphasized in this study. The large upward or downward force induced on the vacuum vessel is due to midplane-asymmetric poloidal field configuration, and is intensified by vertical plasma motion in disruption. On the other hand, the saddle-like force at the inboard section of the flange is increased by the horizontal plasma motion during disruption. The results indicate that the analysis of the effect of plasma motion is very important to the design of a vacuum vessel and its support structure.
