title = "Scaled experiments and CFD simulations supporting the design of the spallation neutron source mercury target",
abstract = "A combination of experimental and computational methods is necessary to adequately characterize the flow patterns in the liquid mercury target of the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS). Since liquid mercury is completely opaque and corrosive to many materials, the use of liquid mercury as the working fluid makes complete characterization of the flow field by experiment difficult. Furthermore, flow asymmetries and quasiperiodic instabilities that are observed in early target flow experiments are difficult to capture in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations of the system. Therefore, an experimental program using several scaled experiments is combined with CFD simulation for the design and development of the SNS mercury target.",
