Analysis of the load loss by the Monte Carlo Method

Abstract

We usually use the Finite Element method (FEM) to calculate the load loss at the outer vessel of super conducting coil. There is also a method called the Monte Carlo method (MCM) to analyze thermal transfer models. Methods to use random numbers for calculation are generically called the MCM. For instance, we use the MCM for thermal transfer analysis quickly out put the temperature at one point.
In this paper, we use the MCM to calculate the temperature of outer vessel of super conducting coil and linear generator coils for the maglev system. We also measure the temperature of these equipment items at bench tests by a simple wind tunnel. The results of MCM are found to be consistent with those bench tests and analysis.
