Abstract
The Korea Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research (KSTAR) Central Solenoid Model Coil (CSMC) has been developed to validate the design of KSATR CS coil. The thermo-hydraulic characteristics were analyzed for the KSTAR CSMC. The major thermo-hydraulic parameters of the coil are AC losses, strand temperature, coolant temperature, pressure drop and temperature margin. A numerical code has been developed for the thermo-hydaulic analysis of the KSTAR CSMC according to the operating conditions. In this paper, the description of the thermo-hydraulic analysis models and analysis results of CSMC are presented. The total energy deposition due to AC losses in CSMC winding will induce a flow reversal of supercritical helium. The minimum temperature margin is estimated approximately 0.5 K. The maximum temperature in CSMC winding is about 7.6 K.
