ALBA cooling system 1D model and thermo-fluid dynamic simulations using Flowmaster® software

Abstract

The Center for Industrial Diagnostics and Fluid Dynamics (CDIF) is a R&D center within the Technical University of Catalonia (UPC). It belongs to the TECNIO network, a technology transfer initiative from ACC10, the Technology Innovation Agency of Catalonia. The CDIF provides technological support to industry in areas related to the field of fluid dynamics. ALBA is a facility co-financed by the Spanish government and the Catalan government. ALBA is a new generation circular-shaped machine, called a synchrotron, which uses arrays of magnets, called insertion devices to generate bright beams of synchrotron light. Around the machine there are a collection of experimental research laboratories, called beamlines. At each beamline, scientists independently use the light generated by the machine for a wide variety of experiments.
