The article presents the results of studies on the transverse instability of a high-current relativistic electron beam developing in a linear induction accelerator LIA for 5 MeV electron energy, which is created at the BINP SB RAS together with RFNC VNIITF. These results were obtained using a software package that makes it possible to simulate the dynamics of the instability development, as well as to calculate the increment of this instability averaged over the accelerator length. The package consists of four main parts. The first of them, made on the base of a three-dimensional model of the accelerating module electrodynamic system of the LIA, allows calculating the main characteristics of electromagnetic dipole modes of such a module, the second and third parts are designed to find three-dimensional accelerating electric and focusing magnetic fields, respectively. In the last part of the package, a system of ordinary differential equations is solved that describes both the motion of beam macroparticles in electric and magnetic fields, including the eigenmode fields, and the excitation of the mode fields by the electron beam. The adequacy of the physical models used in the software package was tested by comparing the spectra of field oscillations in the accelerator modules obtained in calculations and recorded in the experiment. On the base of the data obtained, the main regularities of the transverse beam instability development in the frequency range ∆f = 0.3–1.1 GHz were revealed, and possible methods for suppressing this instability in the LIA were proposed.

The article describes modelling of the high voltage source of the ELV-15 accelerator. The electromagnetic parameters of the rectifier, the magnet filed distribution, the parameters of primary and secondary winding are considered. Ripples and stability of the accelerating voltage are evaluated. The strength of the electric field in the source is considered.

In order to describe the nonlinear behavior of oscillation amplitude of the segmental-conical model on a transversive rod setup in a wind tunnel at Mach М = 2, a polynomial function of damping derivatives was used. Polynom of the 4th degree as a function of viscous damping allowed to describe two limit cycles observed in experiments. Coefficients of the polynom were determined and showed sufficient agreement with a direct numerical solution of the proposed dynamic equation.

Experimental results of observation of ethanol microjets flowing into a highly rarefied medium (vacuum) through a nozzle are presented. The investigation of the outflow process was carried out both horizontally and vertically in the direction of gravity, when the liquid was expelled from the source. The condition of keeping constant the residual background pressure in the vacuum chamber is much lower than the saturated vapour pressure of the working liquid at a given temperature of the blast. The possibility of simulation of complex processes of the flow of micro-liquids in a space with a given rarefied atmosphere on a compact vacuum gas-dynamic test bench is shown. It is found that the continuous efflux from a thin capillary or a hole of small diameter into a vacuum or a strongly rarefied gaseous medium differs significantly from the well-studied modes of efflux into a dense gaseous medium, as well as from the pulse modes of efflux into a vacuum. The paper describes the main features of the flow and the conditions of the instability emergence. It is shown that the long-term flow of a liquid microjet in a vacuum has a high degree of surface instability, with a large number of sudden changes in direction, structure and observed density. An explanation for the causes of microjet failure, caused mainly by a combination of capillary instability and intense evaporation of superheated liquid from the surface of the jet, is proposed. The formation of surface gas caverns causing explosive collapse of the microjet with ejection of vapor-liquid droplets is established.

In this work, the parameters of laser cladding were optimized to obtain a high-quality single track. Nickel aluminide powder (Ni3Al) – PN85Yu15 was used as the surfacing material. 60 samples were obtained, deposited at various pa rameters of power, scanning speed, position of the focus of the laser beam relative to the surface of the powder layer. The geometric characteristics of the obtained single tracks were measured, graphs of their dependence on the scanning speed were plotted. It was found that the sizes of single tracks decrease with increasing speed. An increase in the power of laser radiation leads to an increase in width and height of the track, as well as the depth of penetration of the substrate. The dependence of the geometric characteristics of the tracks on the temperature of the melting pool has been investigated. The microhardness of the obtained samples was also measured, and a weakly expressed dependence of the microhardness on the laser scanning speed was found. It was found that the microhardness of the obtained samples correlates with the amount of energy imparted to the powder layer and the temperature of the melting pool. It was also found that the set of experimental data is described in generalized spatial and energy coordinates by a linear dependence.

In this paper, we propose a design of a narrow-band quasi-optical filter with a central frequency ν = 806 GHz (λ = 372 μm) suitable for the implementation of the undersampling technique in terahertz time-domain spectroscopy. The frequency was chosen to monitor the absorption line of the molecular gas CO in the local transparency window of the atmosphere. The filter is designed as the Fabry-Perot etalon based on a polypropylene film with frequencyselective surfaces (FFS) on both sides consisting of square slots in a sprayed aluminum layer. Through numerical simulation of the transmission of the proposed structure, we defined that the optimum ratio of the width of the metal bridge a to the pitch g of the FSS lies in the vicinity of a/g = 0.5. For g less than half of the operating wavelength λ, the FWHM of the filter is less than 4%, which is sufficient for the implementation of the undersampling method in terahertz time-domain spectroscopy.
