The frozen-field approximation and the Ginzburg-Landau equations of superconductivity.

Journal Article · · J. Eng. Math.
The Ginzburg-Landau (GL) equations of superconductivity provide a computational model for the study of magnetic flux vortices in type-II superconductors. In this article it is shown through numerical examples and rigorous mathematical analysis that the GL model reduces to the frozen-field model when the charge of the Cooper pairs (the superconducting charge carriers) goes to zero while the applied field stays near the upper critical field.
