On the statistical distribution of electric field inside jet engines

Using full wave analysis in `Ansys^® HFSS´, we obtain the electric field distribution inside a jet engine containing one set of 24 blades due to the excitation provided by a simple Hertzian dipole. Hertzian dipole illuminates the structure by radiating continuous wave field. The real and imaginary components of the electric field along the engine axis for various excitation positions are extracted and analyzed statistically. Our results show that the real and imaginary field components along the engine´s main axis are dependent Gaussian distributions with different means and variances. These results provide a novel general statistical modeling for the field distribution inside the engine. This statistical approach to electromagnetic analysis avoids all the sophisticated engine details.
