One of the most pressing problems of this century is to solve the energy supply problem and
in particular the development of fusion energy technology. Fusion powers the Sun and stars …

Numerical simulations of liquid metal (LM) magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flows in a
prototypical dual coolant lead lithium (DCLL) blanket module have been performed under …

This paper attempts to bridge the gap between tokamak reactor design and plasma physics.
The analysis demonstrates that the overall design of a tokamak fusion reactor is determined …

In this paper, hydraulic jump control using electromagnetic force in a liquid metal flow is
presented. The control methods used give insight into the hydraulic jump behavior in the …

We have carried out a detailed analysis that compares steady state versus pulsed tokamak
reactors. The motivations are as follows. Steady state current drive has turned out to be more …

The quasi-two-dimensional flow of a liquid metal subjected to a strong transverse magnetic
field around a 180-degree sharp bend is investigated by means of parametric numerical …

The study on DCLL blanket in ITER is related to magneto-thermo-fluid-structure coupled
field issue. A key element in the DCLL concept is the flow channel insert (FCI) which serves …

Plasma-facing components (PFC's) made from solid materials may not be able to withstand
the large heat and particle fluxes that will be produced within next-generation fusion …

We simulated amorphization of lithium aluminate by atomic displacement using molecular
dynamics to understand the effect of defects on fast lithium ion transport in disordered …

The paper describes the concept of a deuterium-tritium fuel cycle of a steady-state
thermonuclear reactor with a fusion power over 10 MW. Parameters of fuel cycle for nuclear …
