Description
In GitLab by @mkovari on May 29, 2019, 11:29
When calculating the inductance of the TF coil, the contribution from the cross-sectional area of the coil itself is calculated by taking the field as B(r)/2. Although this is correct for the field, the contribution to the inductance is not correct, because the flux passing through the coil itself is only linked by the turns running outside that point in the coil.
(In the supercon coil the winding pack is fairly thin and the flux passing through the winding pack is unlikely to be a major contribution.)
See #848 for somewhat similar calculations of force.
Checklist
After implementing issue do the following
- Run test suite
- Does it change the output? If so, give justifications.
- Does it change the baseline 2019 run? (you may need to run on Freia)
- Merge request created
