TL;DR: In this article, a liquid metal blanket for a tokamak fusion reactor is proposed, in which ducts are oriented toroidally, parallel to the main component of the magnetic field.
Abstract: Convection in a horizontal duct aligned with a uniform magnetic field is analysed computationally. The motivation of the study is the concept of a liquid metal blanket for a tokamak fusion reactor, in which ducts are oriented toroidally, i.e. parallel to the main component of the magnetic field. Computations of two-dimensional (streamwise-uniform) flows appearing at very strong magnetic fields and of three-dimensional flows in long domains are conducted. Non-uniform volumetric internal heating is applied, while the walls are maintained at a constant temperature. Two-dimensional or nearly two-dimensional turbulent convection is found at high Grashof and Hartmann numbers typical for fusion reactor conditions. The turbulence results in stronger mixing and more uniform distribution of wall heat flux, indicating promising potential of this concept of the blanket.

TL;DR: In this article, a double inclusion (DI) model is proposed to predict the properties of polymer composites with core-shell liquid metal droplets, where the size-dependent elasticity of liquid metal inclusions is modeled by considering the solid gallium oxide interphase between the liquid metal core and the solid polymer matrix.
