“…Flowing PbLi is taken into account via imposing a mass transfer coefficient at interfaces between liquid metal and walls. This is the case of TMAP7 [112], FUS-TPC [113], EcosimPro or mHIT [114], which have been used for estimating tritium transport and inventory in different blanket concepts and divertors, and performing parametric sweeps. Exercises of verification of these codes against analytical solutions, validation against experimental data and benchmarking between them have been performed [112,114].…”

Most of the validation procedures are performed in solid systems and are devoted to validating processes such as diffusion, surface recombination, chemistry reactions, trapping, etc.…”

According to the most recently revised European design strategy for DEMO breeding blankets, mature concepts have been identified that require a reduced technological extrapolation towards DEMO and will be tested in ITER. In order to optimize and finalize the design of test blanket modules, a number of issues have to be better understood that are related to the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) interactions of the liquid breeder with the strong magnetic field that confines the fusion plasma. The aim of the present paper is to describe the state of the art of the study of MHD effects coupled with other physical phenomena, such as tritium transport, corrosion and heat transfer. Both numerical and experimental approaches are discussed, as well as future requirements to achieve a reliable prediction of these processes in liquid metal blankets.
