“…Plasma facing components (PFCs) made of liquid metals (LM), which are low in melting point but compatible with fuel, are considered to be a candidate for being inner surfaces of next step fusion device in long-run operations [1]. Several experiments have investigated the use of lithium (Li) [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12], tin (Sn) [13,14], gallium (Ga) [15,16] and LiSn (lithium-tin alloy) [17,18] as PFCs. The experiments investigated the bombardment of plasma on LM samples suggested the depletion of LM amount [10], which releases as LM vapor.…”

Suitable management of excessive heat in liquid metal is one of key roles to accomplish the proper liquid metal usage as future alternative fusion plasma facing components. In this work, theoretical heat transfer in liquid metal in contact with magnetized plasma was carried out, and a numerical solver for investigating temperature and induced velocity by j × B force has been developed. The study suggests the trends: 1. lower bulk temperature in liquid metal at which magnetic field is presented, compared to no magnetic field, by additional convection from j × B, stronger than natural convection; and 2. asymmetric temperature distribution in liquid metal along j × B.
