Design and verification of levitation system for superconducting electrodynamic suspension test line by TAN Fuxing, LI Kai, YU Miao, WANG Aibin, YANG Jing, LI Xiaofen

“…In addition, the influence pattern of the "8" shaped coil size on the peak value of average levitation force was determined: the half coil height exhibited an extremely large point for the peak value of the average levitation force, and the winding width and coil thickness were monotonic increasing on the function of the peak value of the average levitation force respectively, if other variables remain unchanged. …”
