Steady-state radiation ablation in the wire-array Z pinch
The mass ablation phase of a wire-array Z pinch is investigated using steady-state r , simulations. By identifying the dominant physical mechanisms governing the ablation process, a simple scaling relation is derived for the mass ablation rate ṁ with drive current I, in the case where radiation is the primary energy transport mechanism to the wire core. In order to investigate the dependence of...
متن کاملMulti-dimensional high energy density physics modeling and simulation of wire array Z-pinch physics
The twoand three-dimensional ~2D and 3D! versions of ALEGRA-HEDP @A. C. Robinson and C. J. Garasi, ‘‘Three-dimensional Z-pinch wire array modeling,’’ Computer Physics Communications, submitted# have been utilized to simulate discrete wire effects including precursor formation in 2D (r-u plane! and nonuniform axial ablation ~3D!. Comparisons made between 2D and 3D simulations indicate that 2D si...
متن کامل250 kA compact linear transformer driver for wire array z-pinch loads
We present the application of a short rise ( 150 ns) 250 kA linear transformer driver (LTD) to wire array z-pinch loads for the first time. The generator is a modification of a previous driver in which a new conical power feed provides a low inductance coupling to wire loads. Performance of the new design using both short circuit and plasma loads is presented and discussed. The final design del...
متن کاملNumerical Studies of Weakly Stochastic Magnetic Reconnection
We study the effects of turbulence on magnetic reconnection using three-dimensional numerical simulations. This is the first attempt to test a model of fast magnetic reconnection proposed by Lazarian & Vishniac (1999), which assumes the presence of weak, small-scale magnetic field structure near the current sheet. This affects the rate of reconnection by reducing the transverse scale for reconn...
متن کاملMagnetic Field Measurements in Wire-Array Z- Pinches and X Pinches
We are investigating novel techniques to obtain time-dependent magnetic field measurements in wire-array Z-pinches and X-pinches. An ideal method would be emission spectroscopy (Zeeman splitting of lines, for example, in the visible or VUV spectrum), as it would be entirely passive and non-perturbing. However, a spectroscopic method to determine the high magnetic fields present in megampere lev...
