Abstract :
Fast-ramping superconducting (SC) accelerator magnets are the subject of R&D efforts at various laboratories. The simulation of field quality in fast-ramping magnets requires modifications of magnet design tools such as the CERN field computation program ROXIE. In this paper we present the efforts towards dynamic 2-D simulations of fast-ramping SC magnets. Models for persistent currents, inter-strand coupling currents, inter-filament coupling currents, and for eddy-currents in conducting coil-wedges are described and validated.
