Abstract

The behavior of high temperature superconductor (HTS) coils is ruled by thermal and electromagnetic interacting phenomena. In this paper, a three-dimensional modeling of the quench propagation in HTS coils is discussed and numerically modeled. As a matter of fact, in spite of the axially symmetric design, a simple two-dimensional modelization may reveal too rough, particularly from the thermal point of view. In addition, the possibility of representing the complex structure of the coil composite material by means of a simplified homogeneous and anisotropic model is discussed and the advantages in terms of computational burden are evaluated.
