Alphysica GmbH
Metal wire
Company Overview
Alphysica specializes in optimizing electrophysical and electrotechnical apparatus through complex, coupled 3D numerical models. The company employs original algorithms and software for self-consistent coupled problems, integrating electromagnetic, thermodynamic, and stress calculations. Additionally, Alphysica supplies high-performance materials and conductors for demanding applications across various high-tech sectors.
Advanced Numerical Modelling and Optimization
The company provides comprehensive services for modelling and analysis of magnet systems, including multi-parameter optimization and synthesis. Their expertise covers design criteria formation, calculation model development, customized finite-element meshes, and magnetic field distribution analysis. Alphysica handles complex scenarios such as combined systems with various field sources, including plasma discharge in fusion reactors, superconducting AC/DC cables, and systems with nonlinear ferromagnetic materials. Consultation in magnet system development is also offered.
High-Performance Nanocomposite Conductors
Alphysica is a leader in developing nanostructured Cu-Nb, Cu/Cu-Nb, and CuFe conductors, offering a unique combination of high mechanical strength and conductivity. Their nanostructured Cu-Nb wires boast ultimate tensile strength (UTS) exceeding 1900 MPa and conductivity greater than 70% IACS. This exceptional performance stems from an ultra-fine-scale microstructure with nanoscaled niobium filaments in a copper matrix, featuring specially organized, highly extended, and coherent boundary regions. This makes them suitable for world-class magnet systems like those in ITER and NHMFL.
Specialized Software Solutions
The company develops and utilizes advanced software for complex simulations. VENECIA is a next-generation code for numerical simulation of transient behavior in superconducting magnet systems, built on a decade of thermal hydraulic simulation experience. The 'HeatFlux-Surface' code is designed for numerical simulation of heat transfer into multilayer targets impacted by various high-energy fluxes.
Key Applications and Expertise
Alphysica's solutions are applied across high-tech industries, supporting critical components for fusion reactors, particle accelerators, and various magnets. Their expertise extends to electric motors, generators, superconducting cables, and other superconducting equipment. Additional services include software development, process modelling, CAD draughting, and project management.
