Development and Simulation Studies of a Novel Electromagnetics Code.

摘要

This is the final performance report for our grant entitled 'Development and Simulation Studies of a Novel Electromagnetics Code'. The main purpose of this research program is to develop novel simulation tools for the design and study of high-power microwave sources. One of the most challenging aspects of high-power microwave source physics is understanding and correctly modeling the generation and subsequent effects of spacecharge fields in the source. The accurate modeling of these fields is one of the key components of this research program. Moreover, the subject of high-power microwave sources, as a whole, has been of great interest and value to the Air Force for many years. Hence, this research program is of great relevance for the Air Force.
