Heat transfer correlations for buoyant liquid metal MHD flows in blanket poloidal channels
Daniel Suarez, Elisabet Mas de les Valls, Lluis Batet
In recent years, several simulation codes for reproducing liquid metal magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) phenomena have been validated and benchmarked. Accurate simulation codes are crucia…
