Abstract

The paper presents an extension to previous work on modelling AC losses in high‐temperature superconducting tapes as a highly non‐linear diffusion process. Following successful formulation for a bulk superconductor the presence of silver in a tape has now been included, using a “sandwich” model, to represent more realistically the practical arrangement. The results of the extended 1‐D model are included and a new 2‐D scheme is described using finite difference formulation. Effects of non‐linearity are emphasised.
