Abstract:We consider a hyperbolic Maxwell-type variational inequality arising in Bean's critical state model for type-II superconductivity. Combining the implicit Euler method in time with a mixed Ritz-Galerkin approximation in space results in a fully discrete scheme for the concerned variational inequality. We present some numerical experiments, which visualize the Meissner-Ochsenfeld effect in type-II superconductivity and verify that the proposed approach is physically reasonable.
