The magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of the liquid metal coolant in the plasma facing ducts of the TAURO blanket concept is analyzed. The walls of the channels are favorable for a reduction of MHD pressure drop. In the analysis it is assumed that the walls are not perfectly insulating which leads to an electrical coupling of neighboring channels. Results valid for any wall-normal conductivity are derived for a model geometry similar to TAURO. The flow structure and pressure drop is evaluated for the designed geometry for both cases, for perfect insulation of the walls and for high wall-normal conductance. It is shown that the increase of pressure drop with the wall conductivity is not really a crucial issue. However, the results show that the...
