Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of electromagnetic field calculation, and particularly relates to a numerical simulation method for propagation characteristics before and after high-power microwave atmospheric breakdown. BACKGROUND
[0002] In recent years, with the breakthrough progress of pulse power technology, especially the progress of key technologies such as high-energy-density capacitor array, solid-state semiconductor switch device and magnetic compression generator, the radiation power of a high-power microwave (HPM) source has reached the GW level. When the high-power microwave propagates in the atmosphere, due to the high energy carried by the high-power microwave, seed electrons and neutral particles in the gas will have an avalanche collision, ionization and generate a large number of free electrons, and the electron density will rise sharply to a certain concentration, which will cause microwave breakdown.
[0003] During the formation of the plasma in the atmospheric breakdown, the high-power microwave will be strongly reflected and absorbed, which will affect the atmospheric propagation of the high-power microwave. The core damage mechanism of the HPM in electronic countermeasures is to penetrate the electromagnetic shielding system of the target device through a narrow pulse microwave beam with a GW-level peak power, and inject electromagnetic energy into the internal part of the electronic system through the front door / coupling path. When the power density of the target area exceeds the dielectric breakdown threshold, the dielectric breakdown effect will be caused in a very short time, and through the double effects of heat accumulation and overvoltage breakdown, irreversible damage will occur to sensitive elements such as the semi-radio front end and the conductor device. This physical process involves complex atmospheric propagation dynamics and nonlinear electromagnetic coupling effects, and through the coupling energy, the sensitive elements of the radar or communication device are burned, but it is necessary to ensure that the pulse power density exceeds the breakdown threshold of the target area, so the research on the propagation before and after the atmospheric breakdown of the high-power microwave has great significance for the design of the antenna and the power threshold.
[0004] At present, the numerical simulation method for the atmospheric breakdown of the high-power microwave has formed a comprehensive technical system from the micro-particle dynamics to the macro multi-field coupling, and the particle simulation-Monte Carlo collision PIC-MCC method, the time-domain spectral element method and the finite-difference time-domain FDTD method are relatively mainstream methods. The PIC-MCC combines the particle tracking and the Monte Carlo statistical method, simulates the collision process of the electron and the gas molecule including ionization, excitation and elastic collision, and can accurately describe the dynamic evolution of the plasma by solving the Newton-Lorentz equation and the Poisson equation, but the calculation efficiency of the method is extremely low. The time-domain spectral element method is suitable for accurate simulation of complex structures, but the calculation efficiency is also lower than that of the FDTD method. The FDTD method does not need to solve the matrix, has low memory occupation, and is suitable for dynamic simulation of the breakdown threshold with the change of the pulse parameters such as the amplitude and the pulse width, but it is difficult to simulate the three-dimensional atmospheric breakdown of the high-power microwave, and the calculation rate is low.
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a method capable of quickly simulating three-dimensional high-power microwave propagation before and after atmospheric breakdown. SUMMARY
[0006] The present application aims to provide a numerical simulation method for the propagation characteristics of high-power microwave before and after atmospheric breakdown, which simplifies the original three-dimensional problem to quasi-two-dimensional problem based on the time-domain finite difference method of rotating body, so as to reduce the calculation time and the demand for computer memory, and the method of the present application also ignores the influence of electron diffusion and Lorentz force, and uses the empirical electron fluid energy equation to replace the electron energy conservation equation to solve the electron energy, thereby further improving the calculation efficiency.

[0013] Step 5. Judging whether the current simulation step number reaches the total simulation step number, if the current simulation step number does not reach the total simulation step number, updating the current simulation step number and going to step 6; if the current simulation step number reaches the total simulation step number, going to step 7;

[0099] Step 7. Analyze the electron density, electric field strength in the r direction, electric field strength in the φ direction, and electron energy at each point in space during the propagation time to obtain the evolution results of high-power microwave propagation before and after atmospheric breakdown.
[0100] Step 7 specifically includes:
[0101] Step 7.1. As Figure 3 As shown, after saving the obre.dat data file, open the Origin plotting software, import the data into worksheet book1, select the "line graph" option, and obtain the electron density evolution graph of high-power microwave atmospheric propagation.
[0102] Step 7.2. Figure 4 As shown, after saving the obEr.dat data file, open the Origin plotting software, import the data into worksheet book2, select the "line graph" option, and obtain the electric field intensity evolution graph in the r direction of high-power microwave atmospheric propagation.
[0103] Step 7.3. As Figure 5 As shown, after saving the obEphi.dat data file, open the Origin plotting software, import the data into worksheet book3, select the "line graph" option, and obtain the evolution graph of electric field intensity in the φ direction of high-power microwave atmospheric propagation.
[0104] Step 7.4. Figure 6 As shown, after saving the obUe.dat data file, open the Origin plotting software, import the data into worksheet book4, select the "line graph" option, and obtain the electron energy evolution graph of high-power microwave atmospheric propagation.
[0105] In this embodiment, the high-power microwave with amplitude of 6e 6 V, frequency of 2.85Ghz sine wave, in the process of atmospheric breakdown with ambient pressure, initial electron density of 10. Figures 3 to 6 The evolution diagrams of electron density, electric field in r direction, electric field in φ direction, and average electron energy from 0 to 10ns are shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 3, FIG. 4, and FIG. 5, respectively. It can be seen from the diagrams that the electron density will gradually increase and then tend to be balanced in the process of breakdown, in which electromagnetic wave is absorbed and reflected in large quantities, and the average electron energy gradually decreases, that is, the energy of high-power microwave will greatly decrease after atmospheric breakdown, which seriously affects the propagation characteristics.
