STREAM MODEL STREAM: SUPERCONDUCTOR THERMOHYDRAULICAL AND RESISTIVE ELECTRICAL ANALYTICAL MODEL STREAM Model Main Characteristics - Computer code used for thermodynamic helium properties. - STREAM model: 0-D model (no space discretization in Winding Pack). Only two volumes hot and cold considered with corresponding temperatures. - The resolution is explicit - The final (or next time step) heated and non heated volume (inside the coil) are at the same pressure: PHe,c (t) = PHe,h (t) = PHe (t) - Safety valves models: PCLAP = pressure set of magnetic safety disc) for P < PCLAP, MF = 0 (Helium Mass Flow) for P > PCLAP, valve is open. If P < PCLAP after valve opening, reduced section for spring valve - The code can take into account a shock wave - Pressure drop & heat transfer coefficients in exhaust pipe determined using experimental results. 8 Commissariat l nergie atomique et aux nergies alternatives

SUPERMAGNET CODE SuperMagnet Code [1] developed by Luca Bottura (CERN) and commercialized by Horizon Technology (John Persichetti, USA),FORTRAN Code The CryoSoft suite of codes THEA [2] (Thermal, Hydraulic and Electric Analysis of Superconducting Cables), FLOWER [3] (Hydraulic Network Simulation), POWER (Electric Network Simulation of Magnetic Systems), and HEATER provides a basis for well optimised and flexible tools for the analysis of specific issues in superconducting magnet systems. SUPERMAGNET is the manager application that launches two or more of the above codes, schedules their communication and terminates execution as appropriate. The codes communicate through a data exchange mechanism that achieves the desired physical coupling and makes it possible to describe a series of processes such as: effect of helium expulsion during thermal transients on the proximity cryogenics; evolution of the coil current during quench, including the effect of quench resistance; cooling of a coil with thermally coupled parallel channels; [1] Bagnasco M et al.
