We investigate theoretically the dependence of magnetization loss of a helically wound superconducting tape on the round core radius $R$ and the helical conductor pitch in a ramped magnetic field. Using the thin-sheet approximation, we identify the two-dimensional equation that describes Faradays law of induction on a helical tape surface in the steady state. Based on the obtained basic equation, we simulate numerically the current streamlines and the power loss $P$ per unit tape length on a helical tape. For $R gtrsim w_0$ (where $w_0$ is the tape width), the simulated value of $P$ saturates close to the loss power $sim(2/pi)P_{rm flat}$ (where $P_{rm flat}$ is the loss power of a flat tape) for a loosely twisted tape. This is verified quantitatively by evaluating power loss analytically in the thin-filament limit of $w_0/Rrightarrow 0$. For $R lesssim w_0$, upon thinning the round core, the helically wound tape behaves more like a cylindrical superconductor as verified by the formula in the cylinder limit of $w_0/Rrightarrow 2pi$, and $P$ decreases further from the value for a loosely twisted tape, reaching $sim (2/pi)^2 P_{rm flat}$.

Magnetization loss on a twisted superconducting (SC) tape in a ramped magnetic field is theoretically investigated through the use of a power law for the electric field--current density characteristics and a sheet current approximation. First, the Ma xwell equation in a helicoidal coordinate system is derived to model a twisted SC tape, taking account of the response to the perpendicular field component in the steady state. We show that a loosely twisted tape can be viewed as the sum of a portion of tilted flat tapes of infinite length by examining the perpendicular field distribution on a twisted tape. The analytic formulae for both magnetization and loss power in the tilted flat tape approximation are verified based on the analytic solution of the reduced Maxwell equation in the loosely twisted tape limit of $L_{rm p}rightarrow infty$ with the twist pitch length $L_{rm p}$. These analytic formulae show that both magnetization and loss power decrease by a factor of $B(1+1/2n,1/2)/pi$ (where $B$ is the beta function) for an arbitrary power of SC nonlinear resistivity $n$, compared with those in a flat tape of infinite length. Finally, the effect of the field-angle dependence of the critical current density $J_{rm c}$ on the loss power is investigated, and we demonstrate that it is possible to obtain an approximate estimate of the loss power value via $J_{rm c}$ in an applied magnetic field perpendicular to the tape surface (i.e., parallel to the $c$ axis).
Minimization of ac losses is essential for economic operation of high-temperature superconductor (HTS) ac power cables. A favorable configuration for the phase conductor of such cables has two counter-wound layers of HTS tape-shaped wires lying next to each other and helically wound around a flexible cylindrical former. However, if magnetic materials such as magnetic substrates of the tapes lie between the two layers, or if the winding pitch angles are not opposite and essentially equal in magnitude to each other, current distributes unequally between the two layers. Then, if at some point in the ac cycle the current of either of the two layers exceeds its critical current, a large ac loss arises from the transfer of flux between the two layers. A detailed review of the formalism, its application to the case of paramagnetic substrates including the calculation of this flux transfer loss is presented.
We investigate theoretically the magnetization loss and electromagnetic coupling of twisted multi-filament superconducting (SC) tapes in a ramped magnetic field. Based on the two-dimensional reduced Faraday--Maxwell equation for a tape surface obtain ed with a thin-sheet approximation, we simulate numerically the power loss $P$ per unit length on twisted multi-filament tapes in the steady state. The current density profile clearly shows electromagnetic coupling between the SC filaments upon increasing the field sweep rate $beta$. Although the $beta$ dependence of $P/beta$ for twisted multi-filament SC tapes closely resembles that for filaments in an alternating field, we show that the mechanism for electromagnetic coupling in a ramped field differs from that in an alternating field. We also identify the conditions under which electromagnetic coupling is suppressed for the typical sweep rate of a magnet used for magnetic resonance imaging.
In recent years, numerical models have become popular and powerful tools to investigate the electromagnetic behavior of superconductors. One domain where this advances are most necessary is the 3D modeling of the electromagnetic behavior of supercond uctors. For this purpose, a benchmark problem consisting of superconducting cube subjected to an AC magnetic field perpendicular to one of its faces has been recently defined and successfully solved. In this work, a situation more relevant for applications is investigated: a superconducting parallelepiped bulk with the magnetic field parallel to two of its faces and making an angle with the other one without and with a further constraint on the possible directions of the current. The latter constraint can be used to model the magnetization of a stack of high-temperature superconductor tapes, which are electrically insulated in one direction. For the present study three different numerical approaches are used: the Minimum Electro-Magnetic Entropy Production (MEMEP) method, the $H$-formulation of Maxwells equations and the Volume Integral Method (VIM) for 3D eddy currents computation. The results in terms of current density profiles and energy dissipation are compared, and the differences in the two situations of unconstrained and constrained current flow are pointed out. In addition, various technical issues related to the 3D modeling of superconductors are discussed and information about the computational effort required by each model is provided. This works constitutes a concrete result of the collaborative effort taking place within the HTS numerical modeling community and will hopefully serve as a stepping stone for future joint investigations.

We theoretically investigate the physical mechanism of the screening-current-induced field (SCIF) in solenoid coils wound with superconducting tape wires. We derive the direct relationship between the SCIF and the magnetization of tape wires, and a s caling law for the SCIF and the coil dimensions is demonstrated. A simple analytical expression of the SCIF is obtained as functions of current load factor, tape wire width, and the coil dimensions. We verify that the published data for the precise numerical computation of SCIF are roughly fitted by our theoretical results for flat coils where the height is smaller than the outer diameter.
