3D modeling of magneto-thermal phenomena in superconductors with defects
Résumé
This paper describes the magnetization process of a superconducting material using a three-dimensional numerical
model based on a control volume method and a magneto-thermal formulation. The coulomb gauge is
used in the magnetic formulation in order to reduce the size of the system and the computational cost. The
proposed model considers the presence of a defect inside the material. Numerical results obtained from different
configurations show the effect of defects on the magnetization process.
