QUENCH ANALYSIS OF LARGE SUPERCONDUCTING MAGNETS .2. MODEL VALIDATION AND APPLICATION

We report here the results of some applications of the 3-D quench propagation model presented in Part I of this paper. Various validation runs based on experimental data are presented. Most of these are in 1-D geometry, and were used to check the accuracy of the computer code in simplified conditions. However, we also show here the 3-D simulation of the quench jump observed in the tests of the EU-LCT coil at Oak Ridge, which we used as an integral test of the 3-D capability of the code. Finally we report the results of an application of the computer code to the verification of the protection of the NET model coil. For this last case, the full capability of the 3-D model is used in simulation of the quench propagation in two conditions: when the coil is dumped on the fast discharge circuit and in the event of a short circuit of a coil module.
