Abstract

In order to discuss the power transportation through the high power MITLs (Magnetically Insulated Transmission Lines), we have modified the equivalent circuit model. This model can be used for estimating the influences of space-charge electrons on power flow and design works of high power MITLs. When the MITL has an abrupt geometrical change, this model is thought not to work well. We are estimating validity of the model by comparing the results with those of the particle-in-cell simulation (PIC). Subsequently, we study the stability of space-charge electron flow in the gaps by the PIC simulation
