Abstract

In this paper we consider a superconductor free boundary problem. Under isothermal conditions, a superconductor material (of ‘type I’) will develop two phases separated by a sharp interface Γ(t). In the ‘normal’ conducting phase the magnetic field is divergence free and satisfies the heat equation, whereas on the interface Γ(t), curl , where n is the normal and Vn is the velocity of Γ(t) in the direction of n; further, (constant) on Γ(t). Existence and uniqueness of a classical solution locally in time are established by Newton's iteration method under assumptions which enable us to reduce the 3-dimensional problem to a problem depending on essentially two space variables.
