Description

The Kolmogorov--Petrovskii--Piskunov equations for self-excited waves are used to analyze thermal wave propagation through cooled current-carrying superconductor. An analytic expression is derived for the maximum wave velocity in the general nonlinear case, and the influence of nonlinearity and critical heat transfer on the velocity is examined
