Tuning of generalized k-omega turbulence model for prediction of heat transfer and pressure drop for helium cooled demo FW

The HCPB blanket concept for EU-DEMO fusion reactors employs high-pressure (8 MPa) helium gas as coolant for the plasma facing first wall. Up-to-date estimations for the total maximum of heat flux go up to 0.73 MW/m². Higher short-term transient loads are possible. 60°-V-shaped r...
