This paper reports on a zero dimensional stability model developed for cable-in-conduit superconductors. The model is effective in simulating the multi-valued stability behavior in the vicinity of the limiting current. This has been achieved by modifying the helium heat transfer coefficient to account for inertial and frictional terms which affect the induced helium flow. The model can reproduce with remarkable accuracy the multivalued stability behavior of previous measurements.
