In order to optimize the operational safety and reliability of the upper launcher for the CFETR ECRH system, a design of the launcher for NTM control based on the remote steering concept is currently being carried out for comparison with the front steering equivalent. This paper presents the layout design and analysis of the quasi-optical system in the remote steering launcher. A 3D visual quasi-optical design tool has been developed for the quasi-optical system, which can parameterize modeling, perform general astigmatic beam calculation and show the accurate beam propagation path in the upper port. Three identical sets of quasi-optical modules are arranged in the launcher, and each one consists of two fixed double-curvature focusing mirrors, which focus and reflect the steering beams (- 12°-12°) from two square corrugated waveguides. The beam characteristics at the resonance layer are described, and the average beam radius is < 100 mm. The peak head loads on the surfaces of the two fixed mirrors are 1.63 MW/m² and 1.52 MW/m². The position and size of the beam channel in the blanket are obtained, and the opening apertures on the launcher-facing and plasma-facing sides of the blanket module are 0.54 m² and 0.4 m², respectively.

The light propagation along a long positive column has been observed in a cold cathode fluorescent lamp. The optical signals are observed with the DC and AC voltage power during lamp operation. The light propagating is observed in the operation with the DC-rippled voltage as well as the AC-voltage. The optical signals propagate from the high voltage side to the ground. These signals show two kinds of features according to the before and after Townsend breakdown. At the dark current before Townsend breakdown, the optical intensity is damped and the propagation velocity is $10^4{\sim}10^5m/s$. At the high current of normal glow after Townsend breakdown, the propagation velocity is 1$10^5{\sim}10^6m/s$ without damping.

A thermal barrier coating (TBC) with self-healing property for cracks was proposed to improve reliability during gas turbine operation, including structural design. Effect of healing agent on crack propagation behavior in TBCs with and without buffer layer was investigated through furnace cyclic test (FCT). Molybdenum disilicide ($MoSi_2$) was used as the healing agent; it was encapsulated using a mixture of tetraethyl orthosilicate and sodium methoxide. Buffer layers with composition ratios of 90 : 10 and 80 : 20 wt%, using yttria stabilized zirconia and $MoSi_2$, respectively, were prepared by air plasma spray process. After generating artificial cracks in TBC samples by using Vickers indentation, FCTs were conducted at $1100^{\circ}C$ for a dwell time of 40 min., followed by natural air cooling for 20 min. at room temperature. The cracks were healed in the buffer layer with the healing agent of $MoSi_2$, and it was found that the thermal reliability of TBC can be enhanced by introducing the buffer layer with healing agent in the top coat.

Using a one-dimensional MHD code of Total Variation Diminishing (TVD) scheme, we perform simulations of propagation of nonlinear magnetosonic waves. A magnetosonic wave is a longitudinal wave propagating perpendicularly to the magnetic field lines, and involves compression and rarefaction of the magnetic field lines and the plasma. We first confirm the theoretical solution of Lee and Kim (2000) for the evolution of nonlinear magnetosonic waves in the homogeneous space. (omitted)

By adopting a 2D time-dependent wave code, we investigate how mode-converted waves at the Ion-Ion Hybrid (IIH) resonance and compressional waves propagate in 2D density structures with a wide range of field-aligned wavenumbers to background magnetic fields. The simulation results show that the mode-converted waves have continuous bands across the field line consistent with previous numerical studies. These waves also have harmonic structures in frequency domain and are localized in the field-aligned heavy ion density well. Our results thus emphasize the importance of a field-aligned heavy ion density structure for ultra-low frequency wave propagation, and suggest that IIH waves can be localized in different locations along the field line.

This paper deals with wave propagations in solid state electron plasmas from the view point of treating the plasma as a conducting fluid, and especially consideration is extended to the effect of diffusion on the permittivities and dispersion relations. The analysis is based on the conception of the self-consistent field approximation. It is shown for the cases of the specific physical configurations that the positions of the null elements in the permittivity tensors are not affected by the diffusion terms, and the diffusion effect appears only in the case of the space-charge wave. It is also shown that the magnitude of the real part of wave vector is in proportion to the 3/2nds power of the field in some regions.

대기압 플라즈마 제트의 플라즈마 전파 현상을 조사하였다. 바늘침과 유리관으로 구성된 플라즈마 발생장치에 Ar을 주입하여 교류 고전압을 인가하면, 바늘침 전극부에 발생된 플라즈마가 길이방향에 따라 유리관 밖으로 전파된다. ICCD 초고속 카메라로 촬영한 결과, 고압부에 발생한 플라즈마 총알처럼 전파되는 것을 관측 되였다. 전파속도는 ~104 m/s이다. 이는 기체의 유속 ~10m/s 보다 훨씬 큰 값이다. 또한 광 프로브를 이용하여 광신호를 측정하였다. 광 신호가 고압 측부터 유리관 길이방향으로 순차적으로 전파되는 것이 관측 되었다. 전파 속도 ~104m/s으로 ICCD로 측정한 플라즈마 전파 속도와 일치한다.

The finite element method is employed in conjunction with micromechanical modelling in order to assess the performance of ceramic thermal barrier coatings applied to structural components. The study comprises the conditions of the deposition of the coating by plasma spraying as well as the thermal cycling of the coated component, and it addresses particularly turbine blades. They are exposed to high temperature changes strongly influencing the behaviour of the core material and inducing damage in the ceramic material by intense straining. A concept of failure analysis is discussed starting from distributed microcracking in the ceramic material, progressing to the formation of macroscopic crack patterns and examining their potential for propagation across the coating. The theory is in good agreement with experimental observations, and may therefore be utilized in proposing improvements for a delayed initiation of failure, thus increasing the lifetime of components with ceramic thermal barrier coatings.

We study MHD wave propagation in a gravitationally stratified isothermal viscous atmosphere of the Sun, permeated by a uniform magentic field. We perform numerical simulations by launching a slow wave on the upper boundary. The driven slow wave propagates down from low-${\beta}$ to high-${\beta}$ plasma across the region where the plasma ${\beta}$ is unity. It is found that mode conversion takes place at $z{\approx}-1.8$ in the layer ${\beta}{\approx}1$. The amplitudes of horizontal and vertical velocites are smaller than those obtained in the absence of viscosity.
