Implosion of two-gas gas-puffZ-θ pinch

Abstract: An expression for two-gas gas-puff Z-θ pinch compression is derived and the dynamic behavior of the implosion is investigated. It is observed that the compression and the azimuthal magnetic field strengths are critically dependent on the target to driver mass density ratio and on the driver gas shell thickness.

Thermal effects on the dynamics of a two-gas gas-puff Ζ–θ pinch

1995

The imploding plasma column of a gas-puff Ζ-pinch has been used to compress the target-gas-embedded axial magnetic field in the presence of plasma pressure. The dynamics of a two-gas gas-puff Ζ-θ pinch is studied with different forms of applied current profiles. We find that the inclusion of a kinetic pressure term introduces the usual β–term, which delays and reduces the maximum compression. On the other hand, for fixed β, compression at an earlier time can be achieved for a large density ratio of the test to the driver gas at the interface position. For the pressure-free case, our earlier results are completely recovered.

Plasma dynamics of a liner consisting of two or three annular cascade gas-puffs with entrained axial magnetic field is studied using the modified snow-plow model. The current stepping technique (Les 1984 J. Phys. D: Appl. Phys. 17 733) is employed to enhance compression of the imploding plasma. A small-diameter low-voltage-driven system of imploding plasma is considered in order to work out the possibility of the highest gain, in terms of plasma parameters and radiation yield with a relatively simple and compact system. Our numerical results demonstrate that current stepping enhances the plasma compression, yielding high values of the plasma parameters and compressed magnetic field B z (in magnitudes), if the switching time for the additional current is properly synchronized.
