Thermohydraulic analysis of cryogenic systems


Completed orders:

ITER Team (Garching, Germany) - International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor
W7X team (Garching, Germany) – W7X Stellarator
Kurchatov Institute (Moscow, Russia)
KSTAR team (Taejon, South Korea) - KSTAR tokamak (field and force simulation)
Confidential (Genue, Italy) – MRI tomograph


The special code is developed to enhance the simulation of transient thermohydraulic processes in cryogenic environment of superconducting magnet systems (forced-flow cooled superconductors, cryogenic pipes, valves, pumps, etc). An advanced, powerful calculation algorithm enables combined 1D, 2D and quasi-3D thermal calculations for a full range of operating modes, including normal and abnormal operation. A rich set of easy-to-link mathematical models provide the adequate approximations for the system geometry and cooling layout taking into account the realistic material and coolant properties.

- comprehensive full-scale mathematical simulation of both the whole system and its components;
- forecasting simulation to help solving constructive problems from many points of view;
- realistic modeling for a variety of cryogenic systems and operation conditions;estimation of temperature distribution, coolant parameters, heat exchange, and nonlinear effects;
- high adaptability for each particular application.

Applications:

- Fusion and particle accelerator magnets
- MRI-magnets
- Experimental and diagnostic devices for research
- Superconducting generators
- Superconducting cables and joints
