Abstract: | A new tool - the 4C code - has been developed, which allows the thermal-hydraulic simulation of the entire superconducting magnet system of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER), with particular reference to: (1) the winding made of cable-in-conduit conductors (CICC), (2) the structures (the radial plates and the case of the toroidal field - TF - coils, for instance) and (3) the cooling circuits. In this paper the different components of the 4C code (1D 2-channel model of the CICC and of the structure cooling channels, 2D model of selected cross sections of the structures, 0D/1D model of the cryogenic circuit) are described in detail, together with the strategy adopted for the coupling between the different components and their integration in a single tool. The new tool is then applied to the modeling of two transients in an ITER TF coil: a simplified version of a cooldown of the coil and the response to a heat pulse applied in the winding. |
