T-A multi-scale and homogeneous models for benchmark #3

These two models address the analysis of the Benchmark #3, a 20 HTS tapes stack. The models show how the multi-scale and homogeneous methods are adapted to be used in conjunction with the T-A formulation. The achieved simplification in the description of the system allow to reduce the …

Self-consistent model to estimate the critical current of superconducting devices

This model was shared by V. Zermeno, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. The model presented here is used to estimate the critical current of superconducting devices. Its implementation is very simple either using finite-element-based or general numerical analysis programs. The model r …

3-D homogeneous model to estimate AC losses in coated conductor stacks and coils

This model was shared by V. Zermeno, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. This model uses a homogenization technique to calculate the current distribution inside the superconducting layers of a racetrack coil and to estimate its AC losses.

2-D homogeneous model to estimate AC losses in coated conductor stacks and coils

This model was shared by V. Zermeno, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. The model uses a homogenization technique to calculate the current distribution inside the superconducting layers of a HTS stack where each tape carries the same net current as it would be the case in a coil. The …

Integral equation for thin conductors solved by finite-elements (Comsol)

The model calculates current density/field distribution in a superconducting thin conductors in the presence of a time-dependent transport current, background field or combination thereof (as in the figure below). The superconductor is modeled with a power-law. Dependence of Jc on mag …
