Abstract
The Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) method, adapted for magnetic field diffusion problems, has been applied for accurate calculation of the resistance and inductance of arbitrarily-wound helical coils of interest in flux-compression systems. These simulations have been performed using a locally-developed three-dimensional variable-mesh FDTD code that has been parallelized along three directions. The resistance calculations automatically take account of skin and proximity effects. The simulations also yield a detailed 3-D picture of magnetic field diffusion through a complex, multi-material coil in the presence of arbitrary time-dependent current waveforms. Hence they can provide critical insight into coil performance in real-life systems. We report on the critical issues that must be kept in mind for such simulations and the results of test problems with simple coil geometries.
