Recently, dielectric wakefield accelerator structures have been successfully demonstrated at the Argonne Advanced Accelerator Test Facility. This paper describes computer simulations of these experiments, including schemes for damping transverse deflecting forces in these devices. These simulations were performed using the MAFIA and ARRAKIS codes. MAFIA is a set of electromagnetic solvers in three dimensions widely used for designing accelerator components. The ARRAKIS codes are time-domain electromagnetic solvers which have recently developed and implemented on massively parallel computers such as the Connection Machine. 6 refs., 5 figs., 1 tab.
