Automatic timestepping in TLM routines for the modelling of thermal diffusion processes

International Journal of Numerical Modelling: Electronic Networks, Devices and FieldsVolume 3, Issue 2 p. 127-136 Article Automatic timestepping in TLM routines for the modelling of thermal diffusion processes S. H. Pulko, Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, University of Nottingham, University Park, Nottingham, U.K. Susan Pulko received a B.Sc. in physics, togetherwith an ARCS, from Imperial College London in 1977, and a Ph.D. from the University of Nottingham in 1981. Her research interests are centred on numerical modelling, in particular using the TLM technique.Search for more papers by this authorA. Mallik, Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, University of Nottingham, University Park, Nottingham, U.K. Alak Mallik was born in 1950 and obtained the Ph.D. degree in mathematics from Nottingham University (U.K.) in 1977 From 1977 to 1980, he taught mathematics at the University of Port Harcourt, in Nigeria. On returning to the U.K. in 1981, he worked as a postdoctoral assistant to P. B. Johns in the Departmentof Electrical and Electronic Engineering at Nottingham University. His work was concerned with the application of the TLM method to heat diffusion in turbine disks. Since 1982, he has been with Kimberley Communications Consultants Ltd., working mostly on the simulation of electromagnetic penetration due to EMP and lightningSearch for more papers by this authorR. Allen, Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, University of Nottingham, University Park, Nottingham, U.K. Roger Allen gained the B.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees inphysics from the University of London in 1973 and 1977, respectively In 1977, he moved to the EEC Joint Research Centre at Karlsruhe, West Germany, wherehe worked on the computation of electronic structures in actinide compounds. Dr. Allen has also been involved in optical fibre beam propagation studies at Nottingham University. He is currently employed by Kimberley Communications Consultants Ltd. at Nottingham(U.K.), where his work chiefly involves the development and application of the TLM technique to problems in the design of microwave devicesSearch for more papers by this authorP. B. Johns, Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, University of Nottingham, University Park, Nottingham, U.K. The late Professor P. B. Johns was the Founder-Editor of IJNM. His early career was spent at British Telecom Research Laboratories at Dollis Hill. In 1967 he was appointed Lecturer in the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, University of Nottingham.
