this paper presents the results of a study on the radiation characteristics of a plasma triangular antenna in the vhf band (30-300mhz) applying the method of moment. deriving the current distribution of the antenna, it shows the relationship between radiation characteristics of the plasma antenna and the plasma parameters. both theoretical and numerical results indicate that if the plasma frequ...

a time-domain approach is presented to calculate electromagnetic fields inside a large electromagnetic pulse (emp) simulator. this type of emp simulator is used for studying the effect of electromagnetic pulses on electrical apparatus in various structures such as vehicles, a reoplanes, etc. the simulator consists of three planar transmission lines. to solve the problem, we first model the meta...

a moment equations method was performed to study the reversible chain transfer catalyzed polymerization (rtcp) of styrene in 80°c. to do this, a kinetic scheme containing conventional free radical polymerization reactions and equilibrium reactions of rtcp was assumed. after obtaining mass balance equations, three moment equations were defined for free and dormant radicals and dead chains. monom...

A novel adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) strategy based on the moment-of-fluid (MOF) method for volume-tracking of evolving interfaces is presented. Moment-offluid method is a new interface reconstruction and volume advection method using volume fractions as well as material centroids. The mesh refinement criterion is based on the deviation of the actual centroid obtained by interface reconstruct...
