abstract = {The European XFEL (EuXFEL) is under consideration for a
High Duty Cycle (HDC) upgrade to enhance the user’s
operational range by enabling short pulse, long pulse, and
Continuous Wave (CW) operation. Therefore, the EuXFEL shall
be extended by new CW optimized cryomodules (CMs) that will
be installed at the beginning of the EuXFEL linac. These new
CMs will be followed by the already existing CMs, which have
to be operated at respectively higher 2 K dynamic heat loads
at various operating modes. One of the key challenges for
this upgrade is the design of the CW-optimized CMs.
Furthermore, the heat load limit of the existing EuXFEL CMs
has to be identified with respect to operational stability.
Measures must be implemented to increase the heat load limit
to meet the requirements of the HDC upgrade. Referring to
operational stability, the flow conditions in the two-phase
pipe within the CMs play a critical role to prevent
vibrations and microphonic effects with undesirable impacts
on RF operation. To address these challenges, a simulation
model has been developed to analyze the two-phase flow
behavior of superfluid helium in EuXFEL-like CMs installed
on the cryomodule test stands in the Accelerator Module Test
Facility (AMTF). This model incorporates the Taitel-Dukler
criterion to evaluate the transition from stratified smooth
to stratified wavy flow in the two-phase pipe under varying
heat loads. The findings provide path for the CW optimized
CM design and JT valve arrangement, ensuring stable
operation under increased heat loads. Validation tests
planned at AMTF will further establish the predictive
accuracy of the model and support its future use in XFEL HDC
upgrades.},
