Thermal-hydraulic analysis for conceptual design of Korean HCCR TBM-set

Korea has designed a Helium Cooled Ceramic Reflector Test Blanket Module (HCCR TBM) including TBM-shield, which is called TBM-set to be tested in ITER. Thermal-hydraulic analyses are performed with conventional CFD code, ANSYS-CFX v14.5 for Electro-Magnetic Module (EM-TBM) and INTegral Module (INT-TBM) including TBM-shield, respectively. With the same model and meshes according to the ITER operation conditions of H/He and D-T phases, respectively, temperature distribution, flow rate and pressure drop are investigated to meet the design requirements and the temperature data are directly provided to mechanical analysis.
