    Employing the CIP method for the numerical simulation, the behavior of the magnetic island evolution in the resistive magnetic fluid was simulated for long time based on the theory of magnetic fluid. It is found that fluid evolution after magnetic island saturation has not ended yet, magnetic reconnection will lead to a macroscopic shear flow. This physical picture can be used to explain the magnetic fluid behavior observed during the tokamak plasma L-H mode transition.

    The effect two temperature ions, the magnetic field, the inhomogeneity and the oblique propagation of waves on the amplitude and the width of the three dimensional dust acoustic solitary waves are studied numerically. By using the reductive perturbation theory, a modified variable coefficients Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation is derived. The approximate analytical solution of standard variable coefficients KdV equation derived from modified variable coefficients KdV equation is obtained. The results show that both compressive and rarefactive solitary waves exist. The amplitude of solitary waves is independent of the external magnetized field, but the width of solitary waves is dependent of the external magnetized field. Moreover, the phase velocity of waves is dependent of the oblique propagation of waves and inhomogeneity.

    Experiments about interaction of 351nm laser of the ~0.8ns pulse duration and ~70J energy with Au disk targets were conducted on “XingguangⅡ” neodymium glass laser facility under the different conditions. The influences of beam quality on stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) spectra were studied. When the laser beam was not smoothed, the SBS spectrum ranges from 352nm to 360nm. When the laser beam was smoothed by lens array, the SBS spectrum ranges from 351nm to 351.5nm because plasma density becomes uniform. Experimental data provides direct support for the smoothing effect of the lens array.

      Molecular dynamics method was used to study H interaction with C/Be samples in this paper. It is found that with H atoms bombarding C/Be sample, some H atoms penetrate into the bulk and deposit in the samples. The rate of H retention increases linearly with increasing incident energy. H atoms deposited in the sample react with C atoms forming H-C bonds. The main sputtering product is H atoms and H2 molecules. With the initial incident energy increase, the trend about yield rate of H and H2 is opposite. The relationship between yield rate of H and H2 in different mechanisms and the initial incident energy is analyzed. The modified samples were studied by analyzing incident energy and atom density. The distribution of chemical bonds in the sample was examined. It is found that the change of the distribution of the atoms in the sample is small, the peak of the distribution of chemical bonds only moves to the surface of the sample.

The energy of incident CH3 particle is 200eV. The simulated results show that the deposition atoms of C and H increase with incident particle increasing, when substrate temperature is 100K the deposition of C atoms was more than others temperatures’, and when the substrate temperature is 1200K, the incident is greater than 1.51016cm-2, the deposited C atoms is less than other substrate temperatures’ deposited C atoms. CH3 was decomposed during CH3 bombardment with substrate, about 9% of the CH3 was completed decomposition; about 40% of the CH3 was decomposited to CH2 and H; about 23% of the CH3 was decomposited to CH and 2H. The scattering angle of C and H atoms are mainly distributed between 5° and 85°, the distribution of scattering angle maximum of C atom was 40~50° or 50~60°, the minimum distribution of C atom at between 0 and 10° or between 80° and 90°; the energy of scattered C atoms is between 0 and 140eV, more than 98% scattering atoms is between 0 and 120eV among of them, and the average scattering energy increases with the increase of substrate temperature, from 65.5eV increased to 68.5eV, The distribution maximum of H atom was 40~50°, the minimum distribution of H atom at between 0 and 10°. Scattering energy of H atom is between 0 and 140eV, but about 70% of the scattering H atomic energy within 40eV, the average scattering energy decreases with the increase of substrate temperature, from 13.92eV decreased to 13.05eV.

    The total energy of uranium crystal with the change of volume was calculated by using CASTEP module based on the density function theory. The E-V curve was gotten. Through the quasi-harmonic Debye model, the thermodynamic properties of uranium, such as the thermal expansion coefficient α , the heat capacity Cv, the relative volume V/V0 and the bulk modulus B, were studied in the range of pressure up to 100GPa and temperature up to 2000K. The thermodynamic properties of uranium were predicted. The result could provide theory evidence for the experimental investigation of uranium crystal under high temperature and high pressure.

      The design parameter, electromagnetic and water-cooling analysis and fabrication process of EAST active feedback control coils are presented. As the diagonal leaders suffer huge vertical force variation, conventional organic insulating material cannot meet the requirements. Magnesium oxide was used as insulating material and supports were added to both ends of the diagonal leaders. Water-cooling calculations show that the temperature of the copper conductor and water is linearly related to the distance from the point to the water inlet. In order to assure the temperature of outlet water not be heated to boil, the relation of the minimum velocity of water and operation ratio is about v ≈ 6K when the current in the coil is 20kA.

    The ITER test platform contains a reactive power compensation and harmonic suppression system, which consists of the RLC filter branches and thyristor controlled reactor(TCR). When connected to the grid, in order to prevent the negative effects of load rejection on grid, the load rejection overvoltage at 110kV bus bar by mathematical calculation is analyzed, which shows that there is a high overvoltage on bus bar when the system throws off the load, and its value is not within the allowable range of the national standards and maybe have impact on grid, so we need to take some protective measures. In order to decrease overvoltage, there adds a bypass branch which contains the anti-parallel diode and a resistor to release the main circuit current. The simulation on the whole system with MATLAB verifies the results above.

    Improvement of the traditional plasma diagnostic with Fabry-Perot cavity was made. A method that can diagnose the rapidly varying plasma was put forward. The experiment proved that the velocity of measuring the variation of signal phase by the vector network analyzer is fast enough when it works in CW sweep mode, and is comparable to the velocity of plasma sheath and wake variation. So the method can be adopted to diagnose plasma sheath and wake. The performance of the novel diagnostic device was evaluated. The evaluation shows that the device has good real-time performance and the measurable plasma electron density varies between  10-1~1015m-3which is a wide range.

    The enthalpy and temperature of the thermal plasma jet was determined using enthalpy probe under the atmosphere plasma spray, several parameters such as arc current intensity, gas flow rate and working distance were considered in order to check their effect on the characteristics of the plasma jet. An increase in input power considerably increased the enthalpy and temperature of the thermal plasma jet, while the increase of Ar gas flow rate decreased the enthalpy and temperature of the plasma jet. The enthalpy and temperature of the plasma jet decreased rapidly due to the increase of the spray distance. Changes in the flow rate of Ar almost have no impact on heat efficiency of the spray gun. An increase in input power considerably increased the heat efficiency a lot, and the highest heat efficiency of the spray gun can reach to 60%.
