Objective- The study is to find the distances d1 and d2 leading to a magnetic flux density as aligned as

possible with the y-axis in the beam area (no x-component)

The general equations of magnetostatics need to be solved:

According to Maxwell's equations,

curl H = J (1)

div B = 0 (2)

B = µ*H (3)

Where B is the magnetic flux density, H is the magnetic field, J is the electric current density and µ is the
magnetic permeability of the material.

The magnetic vector potential A is related to B by

B = curl A (4) therefore

curl((1/µ) *curl A) = J (5)

with this set of equation, a natural (A)=0 boundary condition will imply perpendicular field lines (defined
as iso-values of A) and a value(A)=0 will imply tangential field lines.
Part1-

1) Implement a model in FlexPDE (Assume Jcoil=100 A/mm^2)

a. Implement a calculation of the variation of B in the sample area (%)

b. Run a simulation for d1=d2=0.05 m

The simulation Flexpde file is attached.

c. Generate the following plots

i. Field lines (iso values of A)

ii. Vector field of B

 iii. Magnitude of B in sample area.

d. Display the following information.

i. Bmax in sample area

ii. Bmin in sample area

iii. B variation in % in the sample area

 iv. Report Bmax, Bmin

2) Keeping d2=0.05 m and using d1 as a staged variable (from 0.005 m to 0.07 m)

 a. find the value of d1 leading to a minimum variation of B in the sample area

b. Plot B vs d1 in sample area.

a) =˃From the above graph we can find out the value of d1 for the minimum variation of B
in the sample area which is in the range of (3-3.2) e-2 m ꓿͂ 0.0315m.

3) Set d1 to the value found in 2) and using d2 as a staged variable (from 0.03 to 0.07)

a. find the value of d2 leading to a minimum variation of B in the sample area

b. Use history to generate the plot B vs d2 in sample area.

 a) =˃From the above graph we can find out the value of d2 for the minimum variation
of B in the sample area which is in the range of (0.045-0.046) m ꓿͂ 0.0451m.

4) Is the configuration found the best one? Explain.

No, because more irritation will provide more accurate answer, which require more powerful
unit for processing.

5) Assuming that all the coils are in series, find the current density in the coils with a 70% filling factor
and 60 % operating factor based on the provided Jc(B) characteristic of the superconductor.
Part 2:

1) Modify the FlexPDE script to:

a. Read the input variables d1 and d2 from a separate pde file. Use #include to include the file in your
main script
b. Create a summary reporting Bmax, Bmin and B in the sample area
c. Export the summary into a text file
