Abstract
Liquid wall concept has a significant place in the Advanced Power Extraction (APEX) study as a part of the US program on Nuclear Fusion. In the present paper, different approaches currently developed for modeling liquid wall magnetohydrodynamics and heat transfer in APEX have been presented. Turbulent flows of low-conductivity liquids, such as molten salts (Flibe), are analyzed using a two-equation turbulence model and Direct Numerical Simulation. The analysis of liquid metal flows under a strong reactor magnetic field is based on the magnetohydrodynamic equations for laminar flows.
