Electromagnetic coupling phenomena in co-axial rectangular channels
In the Water-Cooled Lithium Lead (WCLL) blanket, the eutectic alloy lithium-lead (PbLi) is used as tritium breeder and carrier, neutron multiplier and heat transfer medium. The liquid metal is distributed to and collected from the breeding zone through a compact poloidal manifold composed of two co-axial rectangular channels. The external channel, tasked with distribution, and the internal one, assigned to the collection, are co-flowing and share an electrically conductive wall (c_w=0.1).
