Potential and limits of numerical modelling for supporting the development of HTS devices

摘要: In this paper, we present a general review of the status numerical modelling applied to design high temperature superconductor devices. The importance tool is emphasized at beginning followed by formal definitions notions models, methods and models. state-of-the-art models are listed, main limitations existing reported. Those shown concern two aspects: on one hand, performance (i.e. speed) themselves not good enough yet; other availability model file templates, material data benchmark problems clearly insufficient. Paths for improving those elements indicated in paper. Besides technical aspects research be further pursued, instance adaptive methods, most recommendations command an increased collective effort sharing files, data, codes their documentation.
