Abstract
In the present study, investigation is focused on cooling characteristics of granular target compared with liquid target based on the same target model. Due to combination of granules and fluid, coupled CFD-DEM method is employed to simulate movement and heat exchange for granular target, but only CFD technique for liquid target. Directed against same studied domain, comparison and analysis are carried out for two types of targets in the present study. Our research indicates that the granular target owns higher safety margin to withstand severe conditions especially under high energy deposition. The present findings may help to clarify and confirm the safe and reliable spallation target for some specific applications.
