Thermo-Hydraulic Optimisation of the EURISOL-DS MMW Hg target

The present document describes the thermal and the stress analysis of the final design of the EURISOL DS target. The preliminary design by Q. Prétet, R. Milenkovic and B. Smith was used as a starting point for further improvements to reduce stresses in the hull; the results of these computations are summarised in this document. All variants studied to attain the objective are documented using CFD to assess the effects of different flow configurations on the temperature distribution in the target liquid metal and structural analysis for determining the stresses and temperatures in the target structure.
