Abstract

It is difficult to measure the detailed dual-flow fields of liquid metal lithium lead (LiPb) and helium gas in Mini-Test Blanket Module (TBM). Three dimensions numerical analysis of the LiPb and helium gas flow and heat transfer in Mini-TBM therefore has been curried out using the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) code FLUENT. The detailed dual-flow fields, which include temperature, velocity, pressure and heat transfer of liquid LiPb and helium gas, are presented to support for the test of Mini-TBM, and to supply more robust database and make a significant joint contribution to the future TBM testing in EAST and ITER, and also optimize and improve the design of Dual Function Lithium Lead TBM (DFLL-TBM) system for ITER.
