Power exhaust is a significant challenge in the field of nuclear fusion, primarily due to the development of high heat fluxes resulting from elevated particle fluence within fusion reactors. The divertor, a crucial component of fusion reactors, plays a key role in managing and exhausting the power generated by the plasma. Over the years, various divertor configurations have been proposed, and numerous experimental campaigns have been conducted to demonstrate their feasibility in addressing this challenge. In this thesis, the attention will be focused on a particular divertor technology which takes advantage of liquid metals, the so called Liquid Metal Divertor (LMD).
