  1. Mercury Beam DumpSimulations Tristan Davenne, Otto Caretta 9th Oct 2008

  2. Mercury beam dump design from NUFACT Feasibility Study

  3. Agitation of mercury pool surface due to impinging mercury jet 2 phase CFX model mercury jet velocity = 20m/s Angle of attack = 5.7° mercury pool surface area = 0.05m2

  4. Agitation ‘eruption’ of mercury pool surface due to MERIT proton beam Fluka Simulation - Energy deposition in mercury pool

  5. Agitation ‘eruption’ of mercury pool surface due to MERIT proton beam Autodyne simulationSplash following pulse of 20Terra protons

  6. Thermal shocks and magnetohydrodynamics in highpower mercury jet targetsJ Lettry, A Fabich, S Gilardoni, M Benedikt, MFarhat and E Robert

  7. Agitation ‘eruption’ of mercury pool surface due to MERIT proton beam Autodyne simulationDamage to underside of 15mm stainless steel plate (maybe need sprung baffles!) Could helium bubbles be used to move the main energy deposition from the beam deeper in to the beam dump? More of the beams energy would be absorbed in the dump and resulting splash may be slower due to having to lift more mercury.
