CFD simulation of the magnetohydrodynamic flow inside the WCLL breeding blanket module

Fusion Engineering and Design, 2017
Abstract The interaction between the molten metal and the plasma-containing magnetic field in the breeding blanket causes the onset of a magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow. To properly design the blanket, it is important to quantify how and how much the flow features are modified compared with an ordinary hydrodynamic flow.
