What does this boundary condition mean?

AI Thread Summary
The boundary condition \(\frac{\partial H_z}{\partial n}=0\) indicates that the magnetic field component \(H_z\) is constant at the waveguide's boundary, meaning there is no magnetic field leakage. This condition arises from the requirement that the magnetic field normal to the surface must be zero, derived from the equation \(n \cdot B = 0\). The discussion references Jackson's equations, specifically Eq. (8.24) and Eq. (8.30), to clarify the derivation of this boundary condition. The resulting magnetic field distribution in a rectangular waveguide is expressed as \(H_z(x,y) \sim \cos(m\pi x/A)\cos(n\pi y/B)\). Understanding these equations is crucial for analyzing wave propagation in cylindrical and rectangular waveguides.

One of the boundary conditions for a homogeneous uniform waveguide is \frac{\partial H_z}{\partial n}=0. What does this mean physically?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
I tried to put it into words, but the equation is clearer.
d/dn means the derivative in the direction perpendicular to the wall.
 
Hello! I have a question related to this. This boundary condition yield from n.B = 0 , but i don't know how, from considering a cylindrical waveguide. I know that there is an equation (first of 8.24 from Jackson) but i don't realice how to use it. If u know, please let me know. Thankss
 
You must mean Eq. (8.30): \partial_n(B_z)=0 at the surface.
It follows from (8.24) by dotting it with n. The two terms on the LHS are zero, giving the BC on B_z. Then, it follows That H_z(x,y)\sim\cos(m\pi x/A)\cos(n\pi y/B)
for an AXB rectangular guide.

Thread 'Question about pressure of a liquid'

I am looking at pressure in liquids and I am testing my idea. The vertical tube is 100m, the contraption is filled with water. The vertical tube is very thin(maybe 1mm^2 cross section). The area of the base is ~100m^2. Will he top half be launched in the air if suddenly it cracked?- assuming its light enough. I want to test my idea that if I had a thin long ruber tube that I lifted up, then the pressure at "red lines" will be high and that the $force = pressure * area$ would be massive...

Thread 'Why is the 3 body problem unsolvable? And what will happen if someone solves it?'

I feel it should be solvable we just need to find a perfect pattern, and there will be a general pattern since the forces acting are based on a single function, so..... you can't actually say it is unsolvable right? Cause imaging 3 bodies actually existed somwhere in this universe then nature isn't gonna wait till we predict it! And yea I have checked in many places that tiny changes cause large changes so it becomes chaos........ but still I just can't accept that it is impossible to solve...
