Abstract
Abstract
In recent years, the
T-A
formulation has emerged as an efficient approach for modelling the electromagnetic behaviour of high-temperature superconductor (HTS) tapes in the form of coated conductors (CCs). HTS CCs are characterized by an extremely large width-to-thickness ratio of the superconducting layer, normally up to 1000 ∼ 6000, which in general leads to a very large number of degrees of freedom. The
T-A
formulation considers the superconducting layer to be infinitely thin. The magnetic vector potential
A
is used to calculate the magnetic field distribution in all simulated domains. The current vector potential
T
is used to calculate the current density in the superconducting layer, which is a material simulated with a highly nonlinear power-law resistivity. This article presents a review of the
T-A
formulation. First, the governing equations are described in detail for different cases (2D and 3D, cartesian and cylindrical coordinates). Then, the literature on the implementation of
T-A
formulation for simulating applications ranging from simple tape assemblies to high field magnets is reviewed. Advantages and disadvantages of this approach are also discussed.
