Liquid Metal Flow

In dual-coolant and self-cooled blanket concepts, the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) pressure drop is a key point that should be considered. In order to reduce the high MHD drop, it requires an understanding of the liquid metal flow in rectangular duct with FCI. In this paper, two cases that have different pressure equalization slot widths were simulated based on MHD module of FLUENT. It is found that with different widths of pressure equalization slot, velocity distribution and pressure drop changes a lot.
