Magnetohydrodynamic effects on liquid metal film flowing along an inclined plate relating to plasma facing components
Juan-Cheng Yang,Tian-Yu Qi,Dong-Wei Ren,Ming-Jiu Ni,Ming-Jiu Ni,Bai-Qi Liu,Jian Hu,Jiuyuan Li +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors carried out experiments on the liquid metal film flowing along an inclined conducting stainless steel plate and observed the magnetohydrodynamic effects of liquid metal flow, such as the nonmonotonic change of film thickness, the reduction of film flow velocity and the weakening of free surface waves in the direction of magnetic lines.

Applications of laboratory and theoretical MHD duct-flow studies in fusion-reactor technology
J C.R. Hunt,R J Holroyd +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that non-uniform magnetic fields and area changes of the pipes containing the coolant flow can dramatically alter the flows found when the field is uniform and the pipe straight by distorting the velocity profile, increasing pressure gradients, and introducing large pressure drops into the system.
