The purpose of this project is to evaluate analytically and experimentally the interaction of waves in a wave guide with waves on a rotating electron beam. The methods of analysis include use of a general coupled-mode theory, a ballistic computer program, and an experimental evaluation. A three-dimensional model was photographed from a computer graphics display. The photographs show how the beam bunches. This model was constructed in order to visualize the bunching process better and to help in determining a suitable power saturation criterion. (Author).

A theoretical analysis of the beam energy spread induced by transverse-wave interactions is presented. The theory includes effects of finite beam size, space charges and rotation of the beam. A nonlinear theory is also developed to show a power saturation effect in synchronous-wave traveling-wave tubes due to velocity slipping caused by extended traveling-wave interactions. Results of these two theoretical studies point out important practical limitations on the output power and the efficiency of transverse-wave devices. An experimental vehicle designed as a diagnostic tool to investigate various effects theoretically predicted is described. (Author).

The theory of transverse-wave interactions is reviewed, and theoretical expressions for the gain, optimum efficiency and power output are presented to show design constraints for high-power, high-efficiency tubes. Numerical results of a calculation of the nonlinear behavior of synchronous-wave TWT are presented to show its saturation characteristics. An experimental low-power tube operating in the 500-1000 MHz band was constructed to test various theoretical predictions. The measured axial energy spread induced by the RF interaction and the power saturation characteristics are both in good agreement with the theory. (Author).

Abstract: Abstract of thesis entitled A Study of Transverse Waves submitted by Li-Mei Deng for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Hong Kong in December 2005 Transverse waves are waves that have crest lines perpendicular to the wavemaker and have the same frequency as that of incident waves. Transverse waves have been shown to appear in the cross section of a water channel when the incident-wave wavelength is less than or equal to twice the channel width. In this thesis, transverse waves are further studied experimentally and theoretically in order to investigate their occurrence conditions and occurrence mechanism. A series of experiments are conducted separately in a channel with rectangular cross sections and constant width, in a channel with decreasing width, and in a channel with an addition of a false bottom. The characteristics and the occurrence conditions of transverse waves are obtained in a rectangular channel. During the experiments, first three modes of transverse waves were observed despite the limitation of channel width, and the mode frequencies are found to be close to the frequencies that satisfy the dispersion relation. With the variation of channel width and water depth and the introduction of reflection structures, the occurrence conditions of transverse waves are different. Transverse waves can be relatively easily captured in a channel without absorbing structures and in a channel with a false bottom. The maximum amplitudes of stable transverse waves are estimated by the Transfer Function Method (TFM). The relationship between the driving amplitude and the occurrence of transverse waves and the growth rate of transverse waves are also obtained. Based on the previous observations, there exists a time delay between the occurrence of transverse waves and the propagation of incident waves, and transverse waves generally appear near the wavemaker first. Therefore, transverse waves are assumed to occur due to a small perturbation near the wavemaker. Based on the perturbation method, theoretical analysis is performed in order to study the mechanism of transverse waves in a finitely long channel with a finite water depth. The evolution equation deduced from the Laplace equation and boundary conditions is shown to be a nonlinear equation with boundary conditions. Different order equations are analyzed for the occurrence of transverse waves. The nonlinear terms retained in the governing equation are identified to play a key role in the energy transfer and the existence of transverse waves. The formulations of the first-order and second-order problems are analyzed and compared with experimental results. Finally, the resonance mechanism of transverse waves is discussed and the occurrence conditions of transverse waves in a finitely long channel are proposed. Transverse waves are considered as an example of parametric resonance because their appearance is dependent on the driving amplitude. The existence of critical driving amplitude above which transverse waves occur coincides with the experimental observations. The nonlinear relationship between the driving amplitude and the occurrence frequency and the appearance of transverse waves near the mode frequencies also validate the mechanism of transverse waves.
