摘要
A computational model describing the initiation and evolution of normal zones in the cable-in-conduit superconductors designed for the international thermonuclear experimental reactor (ITER) is presented. Because of the particular geometry of the ITER cables, the model treats separately the helium momenta in the two cooling channels and the temperatures of the cable constituents. The numerical implementation of the model is discussed in conjunction with the selection of a well-suited solution algorithm. In particular, the solution procedure chosen is based on an implicit upwind finite element technique with adaptive time step and mesh size adjustment possibilities. The time step and mesh adaption procedures are described. Examples of application of the model are also reported. (C) 1996 Academic Press. Inc.
