TESTS AND SIMULATION OF THERMAL-HYDRAULIC TRANSIENTS IN THE US PROTOTYPE JOINT SAMPLE

A limited set of data measured on the US Prototype (USP) joint sample is used to assess the capability of the Mithrandir code to simulate heat-slug transients among the complex assembly of joint components. The Multi-conductor Mithrandir (M&M) code is then applied to simulate heat exchange in a joint of the Central Solenoid Model Coil (CSMC) inner module.
