A gyrotron is typically challenging to simulate in 3D, as they often are electrically large. High-performance computing using one or multiple graphics processing units (GPU) can accelerate simulations significantly and make the 3D Particle in Cell (PIC) simulation of a gyrotron a viable proposition.

With this eSeminar, learn about:

• A gyrotron working at the fundamental frequency
• Simulation of a gyrotron operating at 2nd harmonic frequency. The B-field can be reduced by a factor of 2, but this operation is sensitive in both the physical domain and in simulation.
• Aspects to keep in mind when setting up the simulation
• Explaining the differences between simulation and measurements
