Abstract
The first step of the validation of the recently developed thermal-hydraulic code 4C is presented. We study the transient evolution during a so-called standard 25 kA safety discharge of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) Toroidal Field Model Coil (TFMC), tested in 2001–2002 in the TOSKA facility at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany. The computed outlet He temperatures from both winding and case cooling channels, as well as the local maximum temperature increase of the structures, are shown to be in good agreement with the measured data.
