Abstract
We consider the class of invariant solutions which can describe only vortex flows (curl P ≠ 0, P is the generalized momentum) and show that they contain solutions corresponding to flows from a plane or cylindrical emitter with a linear voltage drop across it (direct heating) in the temperature-limited regime*. The solution is obtained in analytic form for emission from a plane in a uniform magnetic field perpendicular to the flow plane. It also (forβ=0) defines a plane magnetron in the T-regime. The solution of the problem for a cylindrical emitter reduces to considering equations describing a cylindrical diode or magnetron in the T-regime, where the shape of the collector is given by the potential distribution curve for these cases. We can extend the results to a relativistic beam if restrictions are imposed on its relative dimensions which permit us to ignore the magnetic self-field. Brillouin type flows (including irrotational ones) are studied in which particles move without intersecting the equipotential surfaces along three-dimensional spirals on the surface of cones. An analytic solution is given for relativistic Brillouin flow in a conical diode when strict allowance is mede for the magnetic self-field.
