## An analytical approach is presented for the determination of the propagation of thermal waves in helium cooled superconducting cables caused by a disturbance resulting in the energy deposition over a finite length of the conductor. The problem is reduced to the solution of an integral equation fo

β¦ Synopsis
The flux jump stability characteristics of an edge-cooled tape superconductor are analysed. Two simple cases (no stabilizer, perfect stabilizer) are considered to establish the lower and upper bounds of the stable operating space. The generalized case is then solved in the interesting limit where the tape thickness is small compared with its width and compared with the one-dimensional condition of Hart. The two-dimensional analysis indicates that finite thermal diffusion in the superconductor can play a significant role for wo/d < 100, where Wo is the half-width of the tape and d is the thickness of the superconductor.

The stability of a specific forced convection cooled conductor is analysed with two dynamic models of different complexity. We compare the dynamic analysis with static criteria. First we introduce a dynamic model of the conductor where the coolant is modelled as a constant temperature bath. A consta
The transient one-dimensional heat conduction equation in a Nb-Ti composite superconductor with an initial localized heated zone and cooled by pool boiling of liquid helium (4He) has been analysed numerically. The initial excess thermal energy associated with the localized heated zone was about the
The stability of a forced-flow cooled superconducting coil is investigated by use of numerical simulation. A numerical code to integrate the simultaneous partial differential equation system composed of the 1D hydrodynamic equations and the 1D thermal conduction equation has been developed. By using
A data base is being made for superconducting magnets which have been built over the last 10 years. In this paper, the stability characteristics and the calculated stability factor and MPZ length of the magnets are investigated to deduce an empirical stability criterion. The hot spot temperature of
