• From a macroscopic point of view, the edges of a type II superconductor are degraded non-homogeneous regions compared with the bulk of the sample. This paper presents numerical simulations of a long superconducting bar with square cross section subjected to an axial external magnetic field, the edges effect on its electromagnetic properties is studied. The edges of the sample are modeled as finite width regions with lower critical current density than the rest of the material. The simulations are based on a continuum electrodynamics model which describes the magnetic induction dynamics of partially penetrated states. Unlike a simpler homogeneous superconductor, in an inhomogeneous material rough flux fronts are formed. It was established that the stochastic profile of the current density produces jets of magnetic flux near a macrodefect.
