Abstract
The solution of a transient, 3D current diffusion problem in a massive conductor with thermal coupling has long been an elusive analysis. Using ANSYS, an attempt is made to solve this problem in 3D for a particular application: Alcator C-Mod Toroidal Field (TF) coil 'sliding finger joints.' The submodel analysis is used to determine the detailed current and temperature distribution in the finger joint and felt metal, and thus characterize the operating parameters for this critical element of the magnet. The effects of damaged FM are also evaluated.
