The ongoing work on the development of modeling tools to address MHD flows in
the Dual Coolant Lead Lithium blanket has been presented. Analysis is performed for
rectangular channel flows with a SiCf /SiC flow channel insert in a toroidal magnetic
field. Such effects as 2D turbulence and buoyancy are considered. A newly-developed
