Proposed Task 1-3 research projects Selected to provide the basis for developing practical LM blankets of interest to US and Japan • Fundamental Studies of Flow Dispersal Elements • Manifold (consisting of Rectangular channel(s), Bends, Expansion/Backward facing step, etc. over parameter range) • Insulation techniques for pressure drop (and thermal) control • Technique 1: SiC/SiC or other FCI • Technique 2: Multi-layer ceramic/metallic coatings (or FCI) • Heat and mass transfer studies • Turbulent heat transfer in poorly conducting channels • MHD Mixed convection in fusion blankets • Computational Model Development • High Hartmann number complex geometry simulations • Fundamental turbulence models in different regimes • Transport effects (heat, tritium, corrosion) due to MHD velocity / temperature coupling – towards integrated system modeling and virtual TBM
