Summary

1. VENECIA enables numerical simulation of transient behavior of superconducting magnet systems as whole making allowance for:
  • real geometry of magnet structure
  • real nonlinear properties of materials
  • real coolant properties
  • real cryogenic accessories.
2. Efficient and adequate simulation is possible for both
  • "short" transients (stability and quench of conductors etc.)
  • "long" transients (operating modes, cool down, warm up etc.) to be modeled both for the entire cryoplant and components.
The code makes it possible to consider a realistic arrangement of the cryoplant accessories (valves, pumps etc.). 1D and 2D models are combined within a single algorithm. The model detalization is variable over a wide range, depending on the nature of problem and accuracy required.

A time pitch is dictated by the nature of transient processes and approximation conditions. It may be as much as tens of seconds.

Simulations of the ITER of TF,CS and PF magnets demonstrated that the run time for complex thermohydraulic models usually does not exceeds a day and night at an up-to-date PC.
