Description

We simulated a traveling wave direct energy converter for application in a D-3He fusion reactor. The deceleration of a simulated ion beam was studied, and the dependence of the efficiency of the decelerator on its length was examined. The effectiveness of spatial variation in the phase velocity of the traveling wave was demonstrated experimentally. Optimization of the structure of the decelerator is discussed with the aid of numerical simulations. By employing the proper decelerator structure, the efficiency per unit length of about 0.2 with the normalized decelerator length of about 2.5 is expected. (author)
