Snowflake Divertors

"Snowflake Divertor" is a magnetic divertor configuration in tokamak fusion devices that is distinguished by its specific arrangement of null points and poloidal field flux surfaces, enabling enhanced heat and particle flux spreading through a geometrically split strike point pattern.
