This article presents a computationally efficient framework for identifying resonance modes of 3D radio-frequency (RF) cavities with damping waveguide ports. The proposed framework relies on surface integral equation (IE) formulations to convert the task of resonance detection to the task of finding frequencies at which the lowest few eigenvalues of the system matrix is close to zero. For the linear eigenvalue problem with a fixed frequency, we propose leveraging fast direct solvers to efficiently invert the system matrix; for the frequency search problem, we develop a hybrid optimization algorithm that combines Bayesian optimization with down-hill simplex optimization. The proposed IE-based resonance detection framework (IERD) has been applied to detection of high-order resonance modes (HOMs) of realistic accelerator RF cavities to demonstrate its efficiency and accuracy.

In this article, we show the RCS enhancement due to the acoustic disturbances around a pulsating sphere. The acoustic variation is modelled with the dielectric inhomogeneities around the sphere caused by the pressure fluctuations due to the acoustic source. RCS is computed for the modelled dielectric pulsating sphere, a cube, and a cone on a cylinder across a frequency band using Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) method. The RCS of the pulsating sphere and other objects considered are dominated by the background scattering from the pulsating object. In this work, we show that the dielectric variation due to the acoustic source can be detected even if there is no scattering from the object. The scattering from the dielectric variation leads to the detection of Bragg scattering along with a significant increase in RCS.

Electric arc discharges in low–voltage (LV) or medium–voltage (MV) power distribution devices can cause significant pressure rise. For example, a high amplitude pressure peak can damage the housing of a LV circuit breaker initiating cracks during short circuit interruption. In case of larger deformations or creation of additional gaps, the impact of the geometric changes on the pressure rise cannot be neglected. This article describes a new three–codes–coupling approach, wherein a magneto–hydrodynamics (MHD) model consisting of a fluid–flow solver and an electromagnetic solver are coupled with a structural dynamics solver to build a complex co–simulation model. This model can predict the deformation of structures under the influence of arcing pressure. The applicability of the model was tested with a setup, where an electric arc is ignited inside an arc chamber that has a flexible plate on one side. Predicted pressure rise and displacement results are in good agreement with test data. In a more complex setup, this approach was applied to model the bending of a flexible baffle plate in the venting path of a LV circuit breaker during short circuit interruption. Additional challenges such as contact motion and pre–stress analysis were resolved.

Potential-based formulation with generalized Lorenz gauge can be used in the quantization of electromagnetic fields in inhomogeneous media. However, one often faces the redundancy of modes when finding eigenmodes from potential-based formulation. In free space, this can be explained by the connection to the well-known Helmholtz decomposition. In this work, we generalize the Helmholtz decomposition to its generalized form, echoing the use of generalized Lorenz gauge in inhomogeneous media. We formulate electromagnetics eigenvalue problems using vector potential formulation which is often used in numerical quantization. The properties of the differential operators are mathematically analyzed. Orthogonality relations between the two classes of modes are proved in both continuous and discrete space. Completeness of two sets of modes and the orthogonality relations are numerically validated in inhomogeneous anisotropic media. This work serves as a foundation for numerical quantization of electromagnetic fields in inhomogeneous media with potential-based formulation.

Determining the design variables of the magnetron sub-assemblies using empirical equations is a challenge. In this article, with the help of the popular backtracking search algorithm (BSA), the bare anode block of the magnetron and pill-box RF window are designed at frequency of 2.998 GHz. The convergence results with BSA are validated with the harmony search algorithm (HSA) and particle swarm optimization (PSO). The optimized design variables of bare anode are hole radius ( $a$
