Simulation of the Body Motion in a Tube with the Linear HTS Suspension

Abstract

This paper presents the results of simulation and analysis of the motion of a body in a vacuum tube with linear high-temperature superconducting (HTS) magnetic suspension. Tube has the curved shape to consider dynamic processes during turning and moving in the vertical plane. The research aims to develop mathematical model allowing to simulate the dynamic of a body suspended by the linear magnetic system with HTS and define the parameters for stable motion inside a tube. Possibility to control the movement of a body using inductor coils on the outside of a tube is also studied. Acceleration by impulse electromagnetic field and deceleration by stationary magnetic field are simulated by the developed model. The proposed configuration of the linear HTS suspension and control systems is relevant for application for high-speed transportation systems.
