Abstract

For new superconductive materials in sheet and bulk form, we have newly developed a precision simulation code. To reflect the measured critical current density Jc in numerical analysis, the angular dependence of Jc was considered in the present analysis. We compared the experimental and numerical results of magnetic shield effect and magnetic levitation force. The numerical results agree well with the experimental results. We found this code is useful for analyzing the properties of magnetic shielding effect and magnetic levitation effect. A more efficient method of magnetic shielding and a method of obtaining greater magnetic levitation force are discussed.
