Thermal-Hydraulic Analysis for Conceptual Design of Korean HCCR TBM Set

Abstract

With a conceptual design of Korean helium-cooled ceramic reflector test blanket module (TBM), including TBM shield for testing in ITER, thermal-hydraulic analyses are performed with a conventional CFD code, ANSYS-CFX v14.5, for the electromagnetic module and the integral module, including the TBM shield. With the same model and meshes, according to the ITER operation conditions of the H/He and D-T phases, the temperature distribution, flow rate, and pressure drop are investigated to meet the design requirements, and the temperature data are directly provided to a mechanical analysis.
