A Dynamic Energy-Based Hysteresis Model for Pulsed-Operated Fast-Ramping Magnets

Due to the strongly nonlinear behavior of ferromagnetic yokes, the numerical analysis of fast-ramping magnets is highly cumbersome and, therefore, in practice overly simplified by means of anhysteretic material descriptions and a posteriori loss formulae. This paper establishes the use of a dynamic ferromagnetic model combining a preconditioned energy-based hysteresis description and a thin-sheet eddy-current model in time-domain. The model was successfully employed in the analysis of a normal-conducting bending magnet in order to precisely calculate losses and fields.

Efficient Reduced Magnetic Vector Potential Formulation for the Magnetic Field Simulation of Accelerator Magnets

The major advantage of reduced magnetic vector potential formulations (RMVPs) is that complicated coil structures do not need to be resolved by a computational mesh. Instead, they are modeled by thin wires, whose source field is included into the simulation model along Biot-Savart's law. Such an approach has already been successfully employed in ROXIE for the simulation of superconducting Large Hadron Collider magnets at CERN. This work presents an updated RMVP approach, which significantly outperforms the original method. The updated formulation is postulated, implemented, verified, compared to the original formulation, and applied for the simulation of a quadrupole magnet. The promising results of this work encourage further investigation towards an updated simulation framework for next-generation accelerator magnets.
