Abstract

Theoretical studies are performed to predict magnetohydrodynamic flow pattern and pressure drop in typical geometric components of the liquid metal manifold for a HCLL blanket module. The interaction of the flow with the strong magnetic field that confines the fusion plasma is analyzed by asymptotic techniques and by numerical simulations. The flows in feeding and draining manifolds are electrically coupled to each other via leakage currents which may cross the common wall that hydraulically separates both channels. This results in complex flow paths in the manifold and in additional pressure drop.
