VENECIA: Venecia software package for thermal hydraulic analysis of forced flow cooled superconducting equipment and their primary cryogenic subsystems

DOWNLOAD DEMO VERSION

VENECIA DEMO is a free of charge software. The VENECIA DEMO contains trial examples to demonstrate principal features and benefits of the code. The trial examples are composed so as to demonstrate key capabilities and benefits of VENECIA simulation. 

User can change an input data of the examples to evaluate an adequacy of code. The results of trial examples are illustrative and do not claim to be precise. In particular, the mesh used in DEMO1 is rather rough for satisfactory approximation of transition zones where He II transforms to He I and saturated liquid He I transforms to saturated vapour. To achieve good approximation of properties near the normal zone boundary and improve integral convergence the mesh size should be fined by approximately 10 times (up to 0.01 m). 

VENECIA DEMO does not allow the user any changes of the design of cryogenic system in the trial examples. Other restrictions of the VENECIA DEMO are mentioned in the chapters describing different VENECIA DEMO modules. 

The trial examples for VENECIA DEMO were choosen from fusion researches as the most complicated research area in comparing with other VENECIA’s applications.

  • Test case #3a - Rapid exhaust of 4K helium from one CP back to a cryoplant (recovery);
  • Test case #3b - Rapid warm up of one CP from 4K to 100K. Test case #3b can be launched only after the Test case #3a.
  • Test case #3c - Rapid cool-down of one CP from 100K down to 4K. Test case #3c can be launched only after the Test case #3b.
