Superconductor stability '90: a review.

Author(s) : DRESNER L.

Type of article: Article, Review

Summary

The paper reviews some recent developments in the field of stability of superconductors. The main topics dealt with are: 1) hydrodynamic phenomena in cable-in-conduit superconductors, namely, multiple stability, quench pressure, thermal expulsion and thermal hydraulic quenchback; 2) travelling normal zones in large, composite conductors, such as those intended for SMES; and 3) the stability of vapour cooled leads made of high temperature superconductors.
