Numerical study of the effect of magnetic field on velocity and pressure drop of magneto hydrodynamic fluid in blanket

The present study investigates the structure of a nuclear fusion reactor and the importance of magnetic hydrodynamic fluid. In reactors, the fluid is separated from the main body of the blanket by a separating layer. The separating structure is important in two ways. This structure primarily acts as a thermal insulator. The second priority is used for the separator to adjust the pressure and reduce it. The topics selected in this study are: the effect of magnetic field strength, profiles and dimensions of a blanket, wall thickness, flow velocity and pressure drop, as well as the profile of flow velocity changes due to magnetic field strength. The results show that the maximum velocity in blanket with rectangular cross section in 1T field is 11% and in 4T field is 9% faster than blanket with square cross section. Also, increasing the magnitude of the magnetic field from 1T to 4T causes a 9-fold increase in pressure drop in the blanket with a square cross-section and an 11-fold increase in the pressure drop in the blanket with a rectangular cross-section.
