TITAN - Flow Control and Thermofluid Modeling Tasks

This project, led by Neil Morley and a team from multiple universities, focuses on flow control and thermofluid modeling integral to developing practical lithium-mantle (LM) blankets essential for fusion energy applications in the US and Japan. It encompasses fundamental studies of flow dispersal elements, MHD mixed convection, heat and mass transfer in fusion blankets, and the impact of insulation techniques on pressure drop and thermal control. The outcome aims to enhance simulation tools, modeling techniques, and ultimately inform TBM design and conception.
