The scope of work consists of modeling and constructing an experimental flow loop facility and diagnostic tools to benchmark to refine and validate the predictions of computational fluid mechanics analyses. This task also involves fabrication of a modular annular linear induction pump (ALIP) pump that, combined with the added accessibility provided by a non-volatile liquid metal surrogate, allows for a plurality of pump geometries and novel diagnostics for experimental validation of the simulation of ALIP systems.
