Presentazioni e Articoli Tecnici

In this panel session we present numerical models for computing the current density, field distribution and AC losses in high-temperature superconducting tapes. The tapes have a rectangle cross section for two-dimensional geometries. The numerical models are tested by comparing the calculation results with the predictions of analytic solutions for simple geometries. We used it successively for investigating cases of single isolated tape and are going to aim at more complex configurations, where the interaction between adjacent tapes is important.
