Abstract

The ongoing work on the development of modeling tools to address MHD flows in the Dual Coolant Lead Lithium blanket has been presented. Analysis is performed for rectangular channel flows with a SiCf/SiC flow channel insert in a toroidal magnetic field. Such effects as 2D turbulence and buoyancy are considered. A newly-developed 3D MHD software HIMAG is described, which is potentially an effective tool to study complex blanket flows.
