Effect of Direction of Applied Magnetic Field on Magnetization of Coupled Superconducting Filaments

Abstract

Numerical modeling by using the finite element method is developed for the prediction of magnetization. In this work, we modeled a superconducting strand made up of seven coupled filaments. We studied the influence of the deformation of the filaments on magnetization. We also studied the effect of the direction of the applied magnetic field on magnetization. We could calculate the magnetization of coupled superconducting filaments. We could also add the dependence of the current density according to the magnetic induction. We found that in the case where superconducting filaments are coupled, for a given spacing and whatever the direction of the applied magnetic field, the total magnetization of the strand does not depend on the deformation of the filaments in the strand if this strand is made up of several filaments.
