Asymmetric oscillatory expansion of a cylindrical plasma

Abstract

Abstract. Asymmetric oscillatory expansion of a cylindrical plasma layer into vacuum is investigated analytically by solving the fluid equations of the electrons and ions together with the Maxwell's equations. For the problem considered, it is found that the asymmetrical flow components are strongly affected by the symmetrical components, but not the vice versa.

Design of a Plasma Accelerator Based on Effects of Energy/Momentum Exchange in Crossed Magnetic Fields

“…From this technical point of view, such radial excitement is simpler than other methods for propelling plasma discharge. Herewith we can expect that the used configuration of external magnetic fields may increase the transfer processes of energy/momentum when the oscillation energy in the radial mode tends to be transferred to other degrees of freedom induced by the rotating plasma flows [16]- [20]. However, in this case, one should take into account the coupling of ionization processes and nonlinear plasma oscillations [21,22].…”
