| Popis: | Classical numerical techniques remain very computationally expensive to model the magnetization of twisted multifilamentary superconductors in three dimensions because they require solving a large system of equations. In this paper, a reduced model is proposed to approximate the ac losses of these types of wires. It is established through the projection of the physical problem in a helical Frenet basis and the use of periodic boundary conditions on a slice of the wire. The reduced model on the slice leads to systems of more reasonable size leading to smaller and faster simulations than when the whole wire is modeled. Simulation results show that the proposed method leads to computed losses similar to those obtained on a whole wire. Several simulation cases are proposed to prove the validity of the proposed model, and a comparison to some ac loss measurements is proposed to show the effectiveness of the proposed approach. The implementation relies on the H-formulation and is solved with the open-source solver, Getdp. |
