Abstract: Modeling the electromagnetic (EM) behavior of CORC® cables presents significant computational challenges due to the coexistence of thin superconducting tapes and thick structural formers. This creates a strongly multiscale problem, making traditional FEM-based approaches cumbersome, as they require extremely fine meshes to accurately resolve the different geometric scales. Integral Equation Methods (IEMs), on the other hand, are well-suited for magnetization loss analysis in multiscale superconducting structures, as they avoid modeling non-EM-active parts of the domain. This greatly reduces the effort involved in meshing the computational domain. In this work, we propose an IEM that couples surface and volumetric models to perform transient nonlinear analysis of CORC®-like superconducting cables.
