Electric field formulation for thin film magnetization problems    [PDF]

John W Barrett, Leonid Prigozhin
We derive a variational formulation for thin film magnetization problems in type-II superconductors written in terms of two variables, the electric field and the magnetization function. A numerical method, based on this formulation, makes it possible to accurately compute all variables of interest, including the electric field, for any value of the power in the power law current-voltage relation characterizing the superconducting material. For high power values we obtain a good approximation to the critical state model solution. Numerical simulation results are presented for simply and multiply connected films, and also for an inhomogeneous film.
