Pulse-Forming Network Computer Simulation Model With Implicit Euler Algorithm

The paper is devoted to application of implicit Euler algorithm for computer simulation of pulse-forming networks. In the previous paper, the authors proposed to use a computer model based on explicit Euler algorithm to optimize performance of a modified pulse-forming network with the damping resistor connected in parallel to the first inductance of the network. Although the research showed very good characteristics of the proposed pulse-forming network, it is well-known from the literature that computer models based on explicit Euler algorithm can accumulate errors, what can undermine the validity of the obtained results. To verify and confirm performance of the computer simulation model used previously, authors designed a computer simulation model based on implicit Euler algorithm, which is free from this accumulation of errors. Developed computer simulation model with implicit Euler algorithm has confirmed the previous results obtained with explicit Euler algorithm and, although it requires more calculations, it gives a range of options for the researchers. These possibilities include testing other models in the absence of the analytical solutions or using this model when an added accuracy of the simulation is necessary. Designed computer simulation model with implicit Euler algorithm can be used in pulse-forming networks design and improvements.
