The effects of superconductor-stabilizer interfacial resistance on quench of current-carrying coated conductor
We present the results of numerical analysis of a model of normal zone
propagation in coated conductors. The main emphasis is on the effects of
increased contact resistance between the superconducting film and the
stabilizer on the speed of normal zone propagation, the maximum temperature
rise inside the normal zone, and the stability margins. We show that with
increasing contact resistance the speed of normal zone propagation increases,
the maximum temperature inside the normal zone decreases, and stability margins
shrink. This may have an overall beneficial effect on quench protection quality
of coated conductors. We also briefly discuss the propagation of solitons and
development of the temperature modulation along the wire.Comment: To be published in Superconductor Science and Technology. This

The vertex coordinates of the Galaxy's stellar systems according to the Gaia DR3 catalogue
We present the results of determining the coordinates of the vertices of
various stellar systems, the centroids of which are located in the Galactic
plane. To do this, the positions, parallaxes, proper motions, and radial
velocities of red giants and subgiants contained in the ~DR3 catalogue
have been used. When determining the components of the deformation velocity
tensors in local coordinate systems, we found the coordinates of the vertices
of the stellar systems under study. It turned out that there is a complex
dependence of vertex deviations in Galactocentric cylindrical () and Galactic rectangular () coordinates. Based on the approach
proposed in this paper, heliocentric distances to vertices have been determined
for the first time. The results obtained show that in addition to the fact that
the angular coordinates of the Galactic center and the vertices of stellar
systems do not coincide, their heliocentric distances do not coincide as well.
This presumably indicates that there are structures in the Galaxy that
noticeably affect its axisymmetry.Comment: 10 pages, 14 figures, 1 table
Analytical Solution for the Current Distribution in Multistrand Superconducting Cables
Current distribution in multistrand superconducting cables can be a major concern for stability in superconducting magnets and for field quality in particle accelerator magnets. In this paper we describe multistrand superconducting cables by means of a distributed parameters circuit model. We derive a system of partial differential equations governing current distribution in the cable and we give the analytical solution of the general system. We then specialize the general solution to the particular case of uniform cable properties. In the particular case of a two-strand cable, we show that the analytical solution presented here is identical to the one already available in the literature. For a cable made of N equal strands we give a closed form solution that to our knowledge was never presented before. We finally validate the analytical solution by comparison to numerical results in the case of a step-like spatial distribution of the magnetic field over a short Rutherford cable, both in transient and steady state conditions
Frontiers, challenges, and solutions in modeling of swift heavy ion effects in materials
Since a few breakthroughs in the fundamental understanding of the effects of
swift heavy ions (SHI) decelerating in the electronic stopping regime in the
matter have been achieved in the last decade, it motivated us to review the
state-of-the-art approaches in the modeling of SHI effects. The SHI track
kinetics occurs via several well-separated stages: from attoseconds in
ion-impact ionization depositing energy in a target, to femtoseconds of
electron transport and hole cascades, to picoseconds of lattice excitation and
response, to nanoseconds of atomic relaxation, and even longer macroscopic
reaction. Each stage requires its own approaches for quantitative description.
We discuss that understanding the links between the stages makes it possible to
describe the entire track kinetics within a multiscale model without fitting
procedures. The review focuses on the underlying physical mechanisms of each
process, the dominant effects they produce, and the limitations of the existing
approaches as well as various numerical techniques implementing these models.
It provides an overview of ab-initio-based modeling of the evolution of the
electronic properties; Monte Carlo simulations of nonequilibrium electronic
transport; molecular dynamics modeling of atomic reaction on the surface and in
the bulk; kinetic Mote Carlo of atomic defect kinetics; finite-difference
methods of tracks interaction with chemical solvents describing etching
kinetics. We outline the modern methods that couple these approaches into
multiscale multidisciplinary models and point to their bottlenecks, strengths,
and weaknesses. The analysis is accompanied by examples of important results
improving the understanding of track formation in various materials.
Summarizing the most recent advances in the field of the track formation
process, the review delivers a comprehensive picture and detailed understanding
of the phenomena.Comment: to be submitte
Analysis on compressor blading conditions of helicopter’s gas-Turbine engine working in polluted environment
© Research India Publications.Working in the dusty air pollution the air-gas channel of the engine is polluted. This results in deterioration of engine power plants. In this paper we present the results of studies of mass, density, thickness and microstructure of deposits on the rotor blades of a helicopter gas-turbine engine compressor having a nominal capacity of 883 kW after working 1500 h. The researches were conducted on ten blades of each stage. The blades were weighed before and after treatment, and then the averaged sludge mass was calculated. The results show that at the latter stages of the compressor deposit density was greater than at the first ones. Mode with full manifestation of roughness for a given engine is implemented in the first six stages of the compressor. It is concluded that the characteristics of the boundary layer and the value of the coefficient of friction on the surface of the blades are mostly influenced by the size of the arithmetic average height of irregularities Rz. The resulting data is used to develop methods of purifying of the compressor flow path
