Numerical calculations of stationary states of magnetic self-insulation of vacuum lines

Abstract

As regards the adiabatic model of the high-current diode: the present situation requires the development of numerical methods for the calculation of lines with different configurations. Calculations based on the stabilization method using macroparticles are used for such problems; however, direct application of the stabilization method to calculation of a line leads to large fluctuations, which greatly reduce accuracy, overload computer memory, and increase computational time. A new stationary numerical algorithm, described in this paper, eliminates the fluctuations and works practically with any electrode. Results of numerical calculations of lines with magnetic insulation are presented here for two configurations (cylindrical and conical) and are compared through experiment.
