Abstract :
In this paper, some new finite element procedures are presented to analyze TWT helix slow-wave structures in a distributed computing environment. In particular, very computing time expensive analyses required in TWT SWS simulations are parallelized in order to obtain a remarkable reduction of computing time. The example presented regards the construction of the Brillouin diagram of a helix SWS. The obtained results confirmed us the good performance of the grid environment for the numerical analysis and optimization of TWTs.
