Abstract:The investigation of liquid metal (LM) magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flows through multiple electrically coupling ducts with U-turn bends is of crucial importance for accurately predicting the thermal-hydraulic performance of LM blankets in fusion reactors. Moreover, this duct configuration is often adopted in liquid blanket designs. Here, the combination effects of the MHD coupling, 3D MHD and inclined external magnetic fields on LM MHD flows through the multiple coupling ducts with different aspect ratios and wa… Show more
