Abstract:

An experimental station, consisting of the magnet, the lithium flow loop, the dynamical circulation system, the heating system and the measure system, has been designed to study the liquid lithium film flow under a horizontal magnetic field. After the parts of the experimental facility are fabricated well and moved into the laboratory, the experiment station is assembled and tested on-site. At last, the experimental station is completed after the solid lithium is filled in and melted. Then, some experiments are conducted, including the lithium spreading performance on stainless-steel surface, the lithium film flow patterns under varying Reynolds numbers, and the MHD effects on the lithium film flow. The result shows that the liquid lithium film could spread well on the stainless steel which had been wetted by lithium sufficiently, and the horizontal magnetic field could steady the film flow pattern and restrain the surface wave of the film on the magnetic direction.
