Quench propagation analysis in adiabatic superconducting windings

This paper reports the basic postulate of the author's quench simulation code, developed to analyze normal-zone propagation in adiabatic magnets which is the code's computation may be immensely simplified without sacrifice in accuracy by aggregating all thermal properties of the winding affecting normal-zone propagation into a single parameter of the transverse quench velocity. In order to verify this postulate, a finite element method (FEM) analysis has been applied to solve the temporal and spatial evolution of temperature within a section of an adiabatic magnet winding
