3. Superconductor Thermohydraulical and Resistive Electrical Analytical Model (STREAM) applied to WEST TF Coil Quench Analysis

9/23/21, 1:50 PM

The Toroidal Field (TF) system of the WEST tokamak comprises 18 NbTi superconducting coils, cooled in a static superfluid helium bath at 1.8 K and carrying a nominal current of 1255 A. The 19th December 2017, at the end of plasma run #52205, a quench of TFC-09 was detected first on a secondary thermohydraulical signal (helium level) and triggered the current Fast Safety Discharge (FSD)....

9. AC losses in TF magnets during JT-60SA commissioning: experimental analysis and simulations

9/23/21, 2:15 PM

During the integrated commissioning of JT-60SA tokamak, the superconducting magnets have experienced several tests such as current ramps or fast discharges. The time variations of the associated magnetic field have induced AC losses in the winding pack (WP), i.e. hysteresis and coupling losses, and in the casing, i.e. eddy currents losses, of the toroidal field (TF) coils.
From the...

15. Dynamic simulation of the first cool down of the JT-60SA cryo-magnet system

9/23/21, 2:40 PM

In framework of the Broader Approach research and development for fusion activities, involving Japan and Europe, the JT-60SA tokamak has been jointly constructed in Naka, Japan to support the operation of ITER and to study advanced plasma scenarios for future fusion power plants.
The integrated commissioning of the tokamak started mid 2020 with a Japanese and European team, composed of QST,...

18. OPENSC2: the thermal-hydraulic modelling of superconducting cables moves towards Open Science

9/23/21, 3:05 PM

Within the framework of Open Science, set as a priority by the European Commission in Horizon Europe, the OPENSC2 code has been developed to grant the entire research community the possibility to simulate thermal-hydraulic transients in LTS and HTS cable-in-conduit conductors (CICC) for fusion and power applications.
A Test-Driven Development (TDD) approach has been adopted for the code...
