Numerical Investigation Of Two-Fluid Magnetohydrodynamics Flow In Channels With Heat Flux

This study conducts 2D simulations of non-isothermal MHD flows in deformed channels to model helium ingress into liquid metal coolant in a nuclear reactor’s test blanket module. Results show that cavities significantly alter flow and<br/>heat transfer, with magnetic fields amplifying these effects. The findings stress the importance of accounting for channel deformities and magnetic influences in reactor design and safety.
