This article presents the exact solutions for the time-dependent variable coefficients of the ($3+1$ )-dimensional extended Jimbo–Miwa (JM) equation. The considered equation is demonstrated to be completely integrable via the Painlevé analysis method. The Laurent series, derived using the Painlevé analysis method, has been truncated to yield an auto-Bäcklund transformation (ABT), and this method is employed to construct analytical solutions. Three new categories of analytical solutions are effectively generated for the considered equation via the ABT. Also, multi-soliton solutions are obtained using the simplified Hirota method for the equation under consideration. All the determined results are illustrated in 3-D graphs through various functions and parameter settings. These graphs reflect the physical significance of the equation being studied.

The corona discharge phenomenon has been of great interest, and it is widely used in practical applications. By coupling the fluid dynamics equations and the Poisson equation, the negative corona discharge between a plane and an ellipsoidal electrode is modeled in this article. The mechanism of ring mode discharge is, for the first time, systematically investigated through numerical simulation. The relationship between the mode of first discharge and electrode-plane setup conditions, such as various cathode shapes, applied voltages, and gap distances, is analyzed. The position where ring mode discharge occurs is correlated with the maximal electric field intensity during the discharge, which is generated by a combination of boundary charge and volume charge in the domain. It is found that in some cases, the discharge pulses can all be in ring mode. The first discharge tends to be in ring mode when the absolute value of applied voltage is lower, the semiaxis ratio $a/b$ is larger, or the gap distance is longer. This study provides important insights for optimizing the design of electrodes and improving the efficiency of discharge in applications such as electrostatic precipitators, plasma devices, aero-engines, and other devices utilizing corona discharge.

Nowadays, the filtering Vivaldi antennas are more and more popular in long-distance communication applications due to anti-interference capability and high directivity, but the existing filtering Vivaldi antennas suffer from poor filtering performance and low gain. To address poor filtering performance, a feed scheme utilizing hybrid substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) and spoof surface plasmon polariton (SSPP) structure is proposed in this article to achieve good wideband filtering performance. To address low gain, first, utilizing loaded corrugated slots technique etches a set of inclined slots on radiator arms to suppress the low-frequency gain drop caused by edge diffraction current. Second, a high effective permittivity double-sided cross stripe metamaterial (DCSM) unit is developed and according to phase calibration theory nonuniformly loaded on the front end of the antenna to achieve wideband gain enhancement. For demonstration, the proposed antenna is fabricated and measured. The measured results show that the fabricated antenna operates at 8.14–12.29 GHz [fractional bandwidth (BW) 40.1%] with an average gain of 9 dBi and a high skirt selectivity of 23.88/21.25 dB/GHz, which verifies the superiority of the proposed antenna.

Ionization and attachment coefficients (IAC) are essential in corona discharge research. However, these parameters of air from different sources vary and are environment-affected. In the present work, the commonly used IAC data in corona discharge research are compared with the data of air calculated by the Monte Carlo (MC) simulation and the Boltzmann equation with different collision cross sections. The results are significantly influenced by both the collision cross sections and the calculation method, and additionally, the effect of humidity on the results is studied. Subsequently, the corona onset voltage of the wire–plane electrode is predicted by the photoionization criterion and measured in an artificial climate chamber. For the first time, the impact of IAC differences on the prediction of positive corona onset voltage under varying environments is analyzed. Experimental comparisons reveal that the impact is marked, especially under varying humidity conditions, where the impact trends are opposite. To ensure the comprehensiveness of the research, the photon absorption coefficient is also analyzed. Finally, according to the comparisons, recommendations for parameter acquisition methods in positive corona discharge research are provided, which will offer valuable insights for addressing corona discharge issues in various environments.

Kink mode is one of the most important macroinstabilities in sawtooth discharge. In this article, the nature of kink modes was investigated through a combination of HL-2A experiments and simulations. Multiple n (toroidal mode number) kink branches were found in HL-2A sawtooth discharges. The distinct roles of different n-kink modes in plasma instability were identified. The n = 1 mode is identified as the dominant kink mode. The mode structure shrinks toward the center with an increase in n value. The mode linear growth rate is not necessarily related to whether the mode dominates plasma. The weakening effect of the shorter wavelength and its higher internal localization partially offset the advantage of the higher n mode in the global plasma instability. In practice, multiple n-kink branches tend to be stable if n = 1 mode is stable. Among the low-n modes, the stability limits for n$gt$ 1 modes would not be lower than n = 1 mode at $mathbf {q}_{mathbf {0}}=mathbf {1.05}$ and its adjacent areas, and the stability limits of n = 1 and 2 kink modes decrease with $mathbf {q}_{mathbf {0}}$ and exhibit some linear relationships if a normally parabolic current density profile is considered, which hints for the determination of the operational $boldsymbol {beta }$ for HL-2A sawtooth discharges.
