The dynamic processes in second generation HTS tapes under the pulsed current and magnetic impact

Abstract

Abstract This paper presents the results of complex multiphysical modelling of non-equilibrium states arising in high-temperature superconducting composites under current, magnetic, and combined control switching impacts types. The simulation and analysis of the dynamics of electrophysical and thermal processes occurring in the HTS composites layered structure taking into account the influence of local thermal processes in the composite structure, in particular, heat generation bursts during a pulse, has been performed. The HTS composite switching times from the superconducting to the normal state have been investigated for various current pulses amplitudes in homogeneous magnetic fields. An experimental verification of the numerical model has been carried out.
