Our group has recently developed and studied “finger”-type divertors that are a simplified version of the helium-cooled modular divertor with multiple jets (HEMJ) using coupled computational fluid dynamics and thermal stress simulations. Such a simplified geometry could reduce complexity and cost given the large number of fingers required to cover the total divertor target area. Previous experimental studies for this simplified flat design reported lower heat transfer coefficients and higher pressure drops than the HEMJ, contrary to numerical predictions. Subsequent measurements determined that the original test section had significant dimensional variations in the jet exit holes. A new test section was therefore manufactured and tested in the Georgia Tech (GT) helium loop. The experimental results presented here for this test section at maximum heat flux of 7.1 MW/m2 are in good agreement with numerical predictions. Correlations developed from these experimental data are extrapolated to predict the maximum heat flux that can be accommodated by the flat design and the coolant pumping power requirements under prototypical conditions. Finally, numerical simulations are used to estimate the sensitivity of the flat design to geometric variations typical of manufacturing tolerances and variations in the gap width.
