Exact two-dimensional solutions are constructed that describe the dynamics of magnetic compression of a hollow shell, which is a one-sheeted hyperboloid of revolution. The solutions are applicable for interpreting the results of experiments on the formation of necks in X-pinches. In particular, they make it possible to relate the main parameters of the problem: the axial scale of the neck, the time of its formation, and the geometric characteristics of the system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
