CONCLUSIONS
•Generalized charts have been developed to allow quantitative evaluation of effects of various operating and design variables on system performance Identify “design windows” for successful operation
of the wetted wall concept
•Experimental investigation to validate numerical results over desired parameter range underway (isothermal conditions)

Objectives
• Determine “design windows” for high-speed liquid films proposed for thin liquid protection of IFE reactor chamber first wall
• Wall protection issues (in the absence of film dryout) Detachment of film from first wall Ejection of drops from film free surface Downward-facing surfaces at top of chamber: greatest
gravitational impact on detachment
• Implementation issues How does film spread from injection point? How does film flow around obstructions (e.g. beam ports)?

W(x)
Initially, film spreads after leaving nozzle (transition from no-slip to free surface at lower surface): “near-field” region
Farther downstream, film thickens (due to gravitational and surface tension effects) and detaches: “far-field” region
Since mass/vol. flux constant at every x location, W must decrease
Does W decrease before detachment?

Initial Observations• Detachment distance xd
Fr most important parameter for detachment distance xd
For high-speed films, consistent growth rate in xd / Virtual origin to compensate for initial conditions
• Film width (y-dimension) W Maximum W 4–5 times initial value Near-field (x < xc< xd): W dominated by initial conditions
Far-field (x > xc): most important parameter for W
• Characteristic film width Wc = W(xc) most important parameter for Wc

Future Work
• Determine “design windows” for high-speed liquid films proposed for thin liquid protection of IFE reactor chamber first wall
• Wall protection issues (in the absence of film dryout) Detachment of film from first wall Ejection of drops from film free surface
• Implementation issues How does film spread from injection point? How does film flow around obstructions (e.g. beam
ports)?

Drop Ejection from Free Surface
• Drops ejected from film free surface upstream of detachment
• Major issue for first wall protection: minimize drops in chamber
