Electro-thermal homogenization of HTS stacks

This model was shared by C. Klop, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU)

The models show how to apply homogenization to the electro-thermal analysis of REBCO stacks. The electromagnetic approach is based on Zermeno’s models and coupled to COMSOL’s thermal interface. The model uses temperature-dependent thermal properties, a temperature-dependent critical current density and orthotropic properties for the homogenized stack to reproduce the temperature distribution of the reference model.
