Abstract
Due to the nonlinear properties of superconductors, modeling of high-temperature superconducting (HTS) devices is difficult, especially for the ones in large scale. In this paper, we develop the multiscale model from a two-dimensional (2-D) planar geometry to a 2-D axisymmetric geometry to successfully calculate ac loss of large-scale HTS coils. By applying appropriate boundary conditions, the infinite-turn coil is built in the 2-D-axisymmetric model to produce approximated current density for an HTS coil. Besides, the multiscale model is improved in terms of coupling, so that submodels can be connected in one file and the external data processing is not needed. Validation on accuracy and efficiency is demonstrated through a double-pancake coil. Results are compared with a conventional model that considers the superconducting characteristics on each turn of the coil in actual size. This paper shows the development and improvement of multiscale model in the 2-D axisymmetric geometry is feasible. Due to its high accuracy and efficiency, the developed multiscale model can be a useful approach to analyze electromagnetic characteristics and calculate ac losses in large-scale HTS magnets.
