Abstract :
A new integrated computer code is being developed for the simulations of the overall behavior of the ITER magnet cryo-system. The existing THEA, FLOWER and POWER codes, assembled as modules of a computational environment (SuperMagnet) have been upgraded to perform global simulations of the cooling circuit for the ITER magnet system. The thermal coupling resulting from the generic geometric configurations has been implemented to realize quasi-three-dimensional simulations of the winding pack. In this paper we present details on the model.
