CFD Analysis and Optimization of the DEMO WCLL Central Outboard Segment Bottom-Cap Elementary Cell

Journal of Nuclear Engineering, 2022
In the design of magnetic confinement nuclear fusion power plants, the breeding blanket (BB) plays a crucial role since it must fulfil key functions such as tritium breeding, radiation-shielding, and removal of the heat power generated by the plasma. The

CFD analysis of WCLL BB PbLi manifold

Fusion Engineering and Design, 2017
Abstract ENEA CR Brasimone has developed the new design of the Water Cooled Lithium Lead Breeding Blanket (WCLL BB). In the new design Breeding Zone (BZ) water coolant flows in radial-toroidal direction, and PbLi flows in radial-poloidal direction; a gap between the Back Plate (BP) and the BZ constitutes the PbLi inlet manifold.
