Abstract

We present the results of numerical analysis of a model of normal zone propagation incoated conductors. The main emphasis is on the effects of increased contact resistancebetween the superconducting film and the stabilizer on the speed of normal zonepropagation, the maximum temperature rise inside the normal zone, and the stabilitymargins. We show that with increasing contact resistance the speed of normalzone propagation increases, the maximum temperature inside the normal zonedecreases, and stability margins shrink. This may have an overall beneficial effecton quench protection quality of coated conductors. We also briefly discuss thepropagation of solitons and development of the temperature modulation along the wire.
