摘要：
High-power, high-frequency gyrotrons are the only promising sources for the electroncyclotron resonance heating and current drive (ECRH&CD) in the present thermonuclear fusion plasma experiments and in future power plants. Compared to the hollow-cavity gyrotron design, the coaxial cavity gyrotron design facilitates improved mode competition control, which eventually increases the output power per tube. At KIT-IHM, the successful operation of a 170-GHz gyrotron has been demonstrated in the short-pulse regime, and the ongoing research activities are aiming to upgrade the existing coaxial cavity gyrotron from short-pulse (1-10 ms) to long-pulse (similar to 1 s) operation. In this paper, with the help of multiphysics simulations, the performance of the insert cooling system is verified for the continuous wave (CW) operation and the operating limits of the insert cooling systems are determined. The perfectly aligned coaxial Glidcop insert will be able to withstand operating conditions leading to a maximal heat flux of about 0.39 kW/cm(2). The influence of insert misalignment on insert loading is also studied systematically in this paper.
