بررسي تأثير پيكربندي گريد كاتد بر روي ميدان الكتريكي در دستگاه محصورسازي الكتروستاتيك لختي(IEC)

In o‎rder to achieve nuclear fusion using Inertial Electrostatic Confinement (IEC), we employ an IEC device. This device consists of two cylindrical o‎r spherical electrodes, one acting as the anode (positive electrode) an‎d the other as the cathode (negative electrode). In IEC devices, ions entering the fusion process are symmetrically accelerated toward the center of the device. At the central point, due to the strong electric field, the ions gain sufficient energy to overcome the electrostatic repulsion between them, enabling fusion reactions. This process results in the release of energy in the fo‎rm of high-energy fusion products. The strong electric field is generated by a high-voltage power supply.The effects of changes in the cathode grid configuration on fusion in the IEC device were studied to achieve a high ion production rate. Increasing the geometric transparency of the cathode grid o‎r reducing the number of cathode wire rings implies an increase in ion current. We expected that this increase would help enhance the ion interaction rate. Simulation results conducted with COMSOL show how the ion interaction rate changes in the IEC device with a reduction in grid transparency. Additionally, the increase in ion current due to changes in the voltage applied to these grid rings was studied an‎d optimized.
