Summary

The paper describes a generic, multi-component and multi-channel model for the analysis of superconducting cables. The aim of the model is to treat in a general and consistent manner simultaneous thermal, electric and hydraulic transients in cables. The model is devised for most general situations, but reduces in limiting cases to most common approximation without loss of efficiency. The authors discuss the governing equations, and write them in a matrix form that is well adapted to numerical treatment. They finally demonstrate the model capability by comparison with published experimental data on current distribution in a two-strand cable.
