This paper describes quantitatively the magnetic field inside the windings of a HTS transformer. The results are obtained by means of finite element method simulations, using the electromagnetic software package Flux2D. The transformer design has been made ...
Using 3D finite element modelling, the present work investigates the coupling effect between superconducting filaments induced by an externally applied varying magnetic field. The considered geometry consists of two superconducting filaments separated by a ...
The effect of low and intermediate frequency external electric and magnetic fields on humans is to induce currents in the human body. As it is not possible to introduce sensors inside the body to measure these currents it was decided to develop calculation ...
In current-free stellarators, the parallel current density is normally too weak to drive global external kink modes. However, at finite values of beta, the bootstrap current (BC) can provide sufficient free energy to trigger this class of mode in some stel ...
An approximation to a quasi-omnigenous structure of the magnetic field strength has been numerically obtained by optimization of the magnetic configuration of a conventional heliotron/torsatron. This configuration shows very good collisionless confinement ...
Using the SULTAN test facility the d.c. behaviour of three subsize NbTi cable-in-conduit (CIC) conductors has been studied. The d.c. performance of the cables is compared with the critical currents and the current sharing temperatures expected from the str ...
We have measured the giant magnetoimpedance (GMI) and giant magnetoresistance (GMR) of Metglas®/Cu/Metglas trilayer stacks of micropatterned amorphous magnetic Metglas 2714a ribbons and Cu foils. We obtain roomtemperature GMI ratios [Z(0)-Z(Hs)]/Z(Hs) up t ...
A neoclassical tearing mode (NTM) requires a finite size seed island to become unstable. Usually the local pressure gradient is relatively large at the beta-values needed for these seed islands to destabilize the NTMs. Therefore, the island has a large gro ...
The JET experimental campaign has focused on studies in support of the ITER physics basis. An overview of the results obtained is given for the reference ELMy H mode and advanced scenarios, which in JET are based on internal transport barriers. JET studies ...
The dependence on the torsion H = dh of the Wess-Zumino couplings of D-branes that are trivially embedded in space-time is studied. We show that even in this simple set-up some torsion components can be turned on, with a non-trivial effect on the RR coupli ...
