Abstract:

This work proposes a model to investigate the use of a cylindrical antenna used in the thermal method of recovering through electromagnetic radiation of high-viscosity oil. The antenna has a simple geometry of the type adapted dipole and it can be modeled by using Maxwell?s equation. The Daubechies wavelets transformed are used as basic functions and applied in conjunction with the moment method to obtain the current distribution in the antenna. The electrical field, the power and temperature distribution are obtained for application of the antenna as electromagnetic heating.
