This paper proposes a way to represent the anisotropic nonlinear superconducting properties using a discrete model for magnetization with the corresponding critical parameters, equivalent to the Power Law model for currents. This simplified model makes it possible to analyze magnetic systems with superconducting elements in a stationary mode, which reduces the calculation time. Using of proposed model is demonstrated by the calculation of force interactions between high-temperature superconducting (HTS) samples and permanent magnet in zero-field-cooling (ZFC) and field-cooling (FC) modes. HTS bulks in the form of a prism and stack made of HTS tape are considered. The calculation of the electromagnetic field was carried out using the method of integral equations for field sources. The data of calculations are compared with the results of experimental studies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this article, a compact unconditionally stable two-dimensional (2-D) stochastic weighted Laguerre polynomial finite-difference time-domain (S-WLP-FDTD) method for geometric uncertainty in superconducting transmission lines is proposed. It calculates both the Maxwell equations and the London equations and uses a weighted Laguerre polynomial (WLP) scheme to eliminate the stability constraint. The mean and the standard deviation of electromagnetic fields, voltages, and currents are calculated. Compared with the Monte Carlo method and 2-D S-FDTD method, the proposed method has the same accuracy but much higher efficiency. The runtime of the proposed S-WLP-FDTD method is only 2.4% of that of the S-FDTD method. Thus, the proposed method is suitable for predicting the influence of geometric uncertainty on superconducting transmission lines. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
