Abstract

Normal operation of the ITER TF coils at 15 MA reference scenario is simulated with the use of the VENECIA code. The developed numerical model adopts a full scale quasi 3D approach for thermal hydraulic and thermal diffusion analysis of TF coils at the reference scenario with greatly variable heat loads from nuclear heating and Eddy/AC losses. The model implements latest heat load specifications and corrective changes in design of TFWP, TF case and their cryogenic circuits. For the first time the primary auxiliary cryogenic boxes (ACBs) are included in a common model to provide for the forced-flow cooling of the TF winding, TF case together with CS/OIS structures and PF supports.
