Abstract
In this paper a code for the solution of nonlinear thermo‐magnetic problems, arising in the transient analysis of thermal and electromagnetic fields in resistive toroidal field coils of tokamak devices, is presented. A formulation based on the electric vector potential T and the magnetic total scalar potential Ψ for the analysis of the thermo‐magnetic skin effect phenomenon in the toroidal field coils of proposed tokamaks has been used, and the results obtained are reported, reviewed and discussed.
