Abstract :
In this paper, computational model of the resistive zone propagation based on the heat transfer and the superconductor critical state model was adopted in order to compute some quench characteristics of the cylindrical superconducting (SC) winding: temperature, current density, resistive zone resistance, and voltage. The resistive disturbance location influence on the quench performance is investigated to find the winding areas that are vulnerable to quench behavior and may be decisive for stability protection
