Parameters from the measurement: Itest = 11.69 kA
LEDET and COMSOLÂŽParameters: - Quenching 1 cable half-turn at: tquench,HT = 0 sfrac_He = 3.5 %RRR = 100- Quench Heaters implemented - Heat exchange between layers and poles implemented
- Simplified (adiabatic) velocity of quench propagation used from the first timestepvQP = 25 m/s
Good agreement with measurement data** Thanks to Emmanuele for implementing all these changes in LEDET within 1 (!) day

Electro-thermal model
6/13/2019 MQ â Simulation & Validation 7
COMSOL: 2D â temperature plot at 79 ms
- Quench heaters are start to heat up the coil at 17 ms- it takes 62 ms more to see a significant temperature increase within the 2D plot

Energy-Extraction System:⢠Consist of four parallel branches of switches⢠Parallel to the branches the energy-extraction-resistor is located
⢠This resistor takes the whole current during the discharge and reduces the time-constant of the discharge.

combined circuit and magnet
model
What is COSIM?
⢠Framework based on cooperative
simulation (co-simulation)
⢠Common coupling interface for
information exchange between several
models
⢠Advantage:
⢠complex system is decomposed in
simpler parts
⢠These parts are simulated by
domain-specific models
⢠The algorithm ensures consistency
between simulations
