Explicit Turn Resolution with Anisotropic Homogenisation for Efficient 3D Magneto-Thermal Finite-Element Simulation of Large-Scale No-Insulation HTS Magnets
Louis Denis, Erik Schnaubelt, Julien Dular +3
No-insulation (NI) and metal-insulation (MI) high-temperature superconducting (HTS) magnets require three-dimensional (3D) models to describe the current distribution around critic…
Surface Contact Approximation for Magneto-Thermal Finite Element Analysis of No-Insulation HTS Coils
Erik Schnaubelt, Louis Denis, Mariusz Wozniak +2
High-temperature superconducting (HTS) coated conductors (CCs) can be wound into no-insulation (NI) coils, in which electrical current can partially bypass local normal zones via t…
Modelling Conduction Cooling of Superconducting Accelerator Magnets using a Thermal Thin Shell Approximation
Emma Vancayseele, Erik Schnaubelt, Louis Denis +3
Understanding the thermal behaviour of superconducting accelerator magnets is essential to ensure their stable and reliable operation. This work presents an extension of the Finite…
Transient Finite Element Simulation of Accelerator Magnets Using Thermal Thin Shell Approximation
Erik Schnaubelt, Andrea Vitrano, Mariusz Wozniak +3
Thermal transient responses of superconducting magnets can be simulated using the finite element (FE) method. Some accelerator magnets use cables whose electric insulation is signi…
Simulation of Rutherford Cable AC Loss and Magnetization with the Coupled Axial and Transverse Currents Method
Julien Dular, Fredrik Magnus, Erik Schnaubelt +2
The coupled axial and transverse currents (CATI) method was recently introduced to model the AC loss and magnetization in twisted composite superconducting strands with low computa…
Influence of Critical Current Distribution on Operation, Quench Detection and Protection of HTS Pancake Coils
Mariusz Wozniak, Erik Schnaubelt, Sina Atalay +5
High-temperature superconductor (HTS) coated conductors (CC) are often wound into pancake coils with electrical insulation in-between the turns. The copper terminals are used for c…
