At the end of the test campaign, quench tests were carried out to study the quench initiation and propagation. Different delay time (up to 7 s) between quench detection and current dump were set, in order to explore to which extent the dump could be delayed without exceeding the maximum allowed hot spot temperature. The experimental data for different time delays are presented and compared, showing a good reproducibility of the measurements and confirming the safe operation of the coil during these tests. The previously developed and already extensively validated 4C thermal-hydraulic code is then used to model the tranient up to the current dump and a comprehensive comparison between the simulation results and the measurements is presented.}, title = {Analysis of Quench Propagation in the ITER Central Solenoid Insert (CSI) Coil}, volume = {27}, year = {2018} }
