Abstract

The Bean critical-state model describes the penetration of magnetic field into type-II superconductors. Mathematically, this is a free boundary problem and its solution is of interest in applied superconductivity.We derive a variational formulation for the Bean model and use it to solve two-dimensional and axially symmetric critical-state problems numerically.
