Quench Propagation in 1-D and 2-D Models of High Current Superconductors
Published in 2009
The understanding of quench, or the sudden transition to the normal state of a high-current Superconductor (SC), is fundamental for the design of a SC magnet, and it is widely discussed in the literature. This paper presents some simple COMSOL models, which are compared with well-known approximate formulae and some experimental results. These models allow a more precise description than it is usually done by means of the analytical expressions, and may describe more difficult scenarios, like those involving magnetic diffusion.
