Summary

A COMPUTER PROGRAM THAT SIMULATES QUENCHING IN ADIABATIC SUPERCONDUCTING MULTISECTIONED SOLENOIDS IS DESCRIBED. IT PREDICTS THE CURRENT, TERMINAL VOLTAGES AND TEMPERATURE DISTRIBUTION FOR EACH SECTION OF THE COIL. THE NORMAL ZONE IS ASSUMED TO ORIGINATE AT THE HIGH-FIELD REGION OF THE WINDING AND TO GROW RADIALLY AND AXIALLY BY HEAT CONDUCTION THROUGH THE EPOXY AND INSULATION. THE MODEL HAS BEEN APPLIED SUCCESSFULLY TO PREDICT THE CURRENT AND TERMINAL VOLTAGES IN TWO-AND FOUR-SECTION SOLENOIDS: AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PREDICTIONS AND EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS IS GOOD.
