Greetings,
I am currently working on a simulation of a very thin superconductor exposed to an external magnetic field. The 3-D space is symmetric along the z-axis, and thus can be modelled as a 2-D space, with the superconductor also being a 2-D body (that extends infinitely in the z-direction). Due to the non-linear nature of the material, I am using a General Form PDE as my physics. The goal is to study the disturbance in the magnetic field surrounding the superconductor due to the currents induced in it by the changing magnetic field.
Initially, the simulation was able to converge with the superconductor represented as a 2-D body (domain). However, for simplicity, and as I am not particularly interested in what happens inside the superconductor, I was wondering if it is possible to represent it as a 1-D body or, in other words, as a boundary. I think this would be beneficial in order to reduce simulation time and possible divergence due to meshing with such a large ratio.
Any insights regarding this would be largely appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
