Course Contents
We are inviting a combination of outstanding and renowned international experts in the field of applied superconductivity. These eminent researchers will deliver lectures on important aspects of applied superconductivity which will be centered around and illustrated by an example of a specific application which is of great interest for the community: a hybrid high-field superconducting magnet, combining both Low and High Temperature Superconducting coils.
The course lectures will be followed by hands-on practice and computer-based exercises. The aim of these exercises will be to equip students with the main concepts and methodologies for developing a numerical model of superconducting devices. By the end of the school, the students will have acquired knowledge of numerical modelling techniques for different physical aspects of superconducting applications.
Overview of contents:
- Fundamentals of LTS and HTS
- Numerical methods for superconductor modelling
- Electrothermal and electromagnetic aspects in HTS and LTS
- AC losses
- Mechanics for superconducting applications
- Composite materials
- Cryogenics
- Challenges for superconducting applications
- Practical exercises in state-of-the-art software
Credits
PhD students and Master students can obtain 2 ECTS credits. These are submitted to examination in two ways:
- Firstly, we would like you to prepare a poster (A0 vertical maximum size) on your current research. During the poster competition, you will have exactly 2 minutes to present it to the jury. The poster competition will take place on Tuesday PM and you are invited to let your poster visible for the whole week. This will allow you to share your research with the other participants and with the speakers. Awards will be presented to the best posters. This is mandatory for students aiming to get ECTS credits.
- Secondly, you will have to answer a multiple choice test on Friday noon.
Poster Competition
Supported by IEEE CSC – Council on Superconductivity Young Professionals, Dr Erica Salazar (CFS, Cambridge, USA)
Awards will be presented to the best posters, everyone is very much encouraged to participate.
