Abstract
In this study, a cooling system for fusion reactor divertor that utilizes a swirling flow generated downstream of multi-elbow piping was proposed, and flow fields of the multi-elbow piping (triple elbow) were investigated using flow visualization experiment. Additionally, heat transfer experiment was conducted under one-sided heating condition to simulate a fusion reactor environment. The results revealed that the heat flux removed by the swirling flow in the elbow piping exceeded the critical heat flux in straight piping, and a heat removal performance of up to 25 MW / m 2 was achieved.
