Non-Laminar Flow Model for the Impedance of a Rod-Pinch Diode

Paul F. Ottinger

Abstract

A previous laminar flow model for the rod‐pinch diode is extended to include a transverse pressure term to study the effects of non‐laminar flow. The non‐laminar nature of the flow has a significant impact on the diode impedance. Results show that the introduction of the transverse pressure decreases the diode impedance predicted by the model bringing it into better agreement with experimental data.
