I. Introduction
While one-dimensional quench models can properly describe quench in a single thermally insulated wire [1], [2], it is not possible to use the same results for studying quench propagation phenomena in coils. In the latter case, in addition to longitudinal heat transfer along the wires, transverse heat transfer also occurs between adjacent turns of wire, i.e. through the electrical insulation. For this reason, quench evolution differs remarkably from the one-dimensional adiabatic case (single wire model). In addition, if quench in a coil is triggered in one wire segment, transverse heat transfer will trigger quench in neighboring wire segments, causing further ohmic heating and increasing the complexity of the problem.
