Abstract

This paper gives a brief resume of the numerical work carried out over the past decade at the Electricity Utilisation Group usingfinite elements for the characterization of RF and microwave heating systems. Maxwell's equations are solved in 3D while for coronas the Poisson's and particle continuity equations are solved in 2D. In addition work on modeling thin films and the use of parallel computing describes the latest work to emanate from the group.
