A mathematical model of the current density distribution in an axially symmetric system of superconductors in an external magnetic field is formulated within the framework of the integral form of London equations. The discretization of the model is carried out and the stability and convergence of the computational scheme are investigated. The distribution of magnetic induction, the density of currents in the ring and the sphere and the attractive force between them are calculated. The possibility of stable levitation of the sphere near the center of the ring is shown.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
