Abstract
This study deals with the resistive zone propagation in a superconduct ing coil during a quench, taking into account both the flux density di stribution and the anisotropy of the thermal parameters. A Finite Diff erence Method is used to solve the heat diffusion equation and the flu x density is calculated by means of a semi-analytical method. The 3-D model is suitable to describe the quench of thick coils and it call be applied to the study of thermal stability. As an application, a 10 kJ -solenoid is studied.
