Division Spotlight
Fusion Energy
This division promotes the development and timely introduction of fusion energy as a sustainable energy source with favorable economic, environmental, and safety attributes. The division cooperates with other organizations on common issues of multidisciplinary fusion science and technology, conducts professional meetings, and disseminates technical information in support of these goals. Members focus on the assessment and resolution of critical developmental issues for practical fusion energy applications.

College students help develop waste-measuring device at Hanford
A partnership between Washington River Protection Solutions (WRPS) and Washington State University has resulted in the development of a device to measure radioactive and chemical tank waste at the Hanford Site. WRPS is the contractor at Hanford for the Department of Energy’s Office of Environmental Management.

We propose a new RANS model for turbulent channel flows imposed wall-normal magnetic fields with heat transfer. This proposal model can be ensured adequate MHD effects on model functions and parameters in the turbulent eddy viscosity and the production minus destruction term of the epsilon-transport equation. With this new proposal model, the Nusselt number of several Prandtl number fluids (Pr = 0.025, 5.25 and 25) under the magnetic fields can be predicted in the range of less than 5% errors compared with the DNS database. The application possibility of this model is in the ranges of Ha2/Reτ2 less than 0.05.
