Influence of the inlet gas velocity components on the survival of the vertex of gas in the plasma torch

AbstractThe vortex gas injection into plasma torch is considered as a method for reducing electrodes erosion. In order to investigate the effects of vortex gas injection on plasma structure, as well as the effect of gas viscosity on the rate of rotation, a three-dimensional nonequilibrium and time-dependent non-transferred DC plasma torch model has been simulated.

Space charge formation and Bohm’s criterion in the edge of thermal electronegative plasma

AbstractThe collisional electronegative plasma space charge is investigated in the presence of the thermal positive ions. The Boltzmann distribution is assumed for electrons and negative ions and fluid equations are used to treat the accelerated positive ion through the sheath region. The influence of the positive ion temperature on the profile of the space charge […]

Dispersion relation and growth rate in thermal plasma-loaded traveling wave tube with corrugated waveguide hollow electron beam

Abstract A theory of relativistic traveling wave tube with magnetized thermal plasma-filled corrugated waveguide with annular electron beam is given. The dispersion relation is obtained by linear fluid theory. The characteristic of the dispersion relation is obtained by numerical solutions. The effect of plasma density, corrugated period, waveguide radius and plasma thermal effect on the […]

Dispersion relation and growth rate in two-stream thermal plasma-loaded free-electron laser with helical wiggler

AbstractLinear theory of the two-stream free-electron laser consisting of a relativistic electron beam transported along the axis of thermal plasma-loaded helical wiggler is proposed and investigated. The dispersion relation is derived employing linear fluid theory. The characteristics of the dispersion relation are analyzed by numerical solutions. The results show in that in the special values […]

Theoretical analysis of a thermal plasma-loaded relativistic traveling wave tube having corrugated slow wave structure with solid electron beam

AbstractA relativistic traveling wave tube with thermal plasma-filled corrugated waveguide is driven by a finite solid electron beam with the entire system immersed in a strong longitudinal magnetic field that magnetized plasma and electron beam. The dispersion relation for the relativistic traveling wave tube is obtained by linear fluid theory. The numerical results show that […]
