N2 - The Divertor Erosion and Vapor shielding eXperiment (DEVeX) is being constructed at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign to study how incident high enthalpy plasma flows interact with target materials representative of plasma facing components (PFCs). DEVeX consists of a conical, thetapinch used to compress and expel plasmas relevant to fusion disruptions such as edge localized modes (ELMs). Modeling of the plasma compression, via a snow-plow model, shows expected plasma densities of 1021 m -3 with a temperature of approximately 1 keV for a duration of 100 μs. An overview of the design and performance of DEVeX will be presented along with current results.
