Poster to be presented at the 13th European Conference on Applied Superconductivity:

Included in the supplemental materials below are two animations obtained from our quench simulation code, one where a quench occurs, the other a quench is prevented. In the case of a quench an initial heat pulse of peak temperature, Tq=4 and width, W=10, was used; the superconductor had an exponent of n=2 (ordinary line nodes). In the non-quenching case a heat pulse of Tq=2.85, W=1 was used while the superconductor had exponent n=1.5 (shallow line node). In both cases the wire had a simulated length, L=50 and was initially in a coolant bath at temperature T=0.1.
