Damavand Tokamak
Enables Iranian research into non-circular plasma shaping, equilibrium control, and disruption physics.
01 Definition
02 Detailed_Analysis
The Damavand Tokamak is an experimental magnetic confinement fusion device located at the Plasma and Fusion Research School of the AEOI. Distinct among early Iranian devices for its elongated (non-circular) plasma cross-section and poloidal divertor configuration, Damavand was engineered to investigate vertical displacement events (VDEs), magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equilibrium, disruption kinetics, and magnetic diagnostic sensor arrays relevant to modern shaped-tokamak physics.

- ▸ Operated by AEOI's Plasma and Fusion Research School
- ▸ Features an elongated plasma cross-section with poloidal field divertors
- ▸ Utilized for studying MHD equilibrium, plasma shaping, and disruptions
- ▸ Supports development of magnetic probes and flux loop diagnostics
