Numerical Modelling of the Compression of a Toroidal Plasma by a Quasispherical Liner

摘要

The problem of the dynamics of a heavy profiled envelope, compressing a compact plasma toroid with a frozen-in magnetic field, is resolved numerically. It is shown that, by the successful profiling of velocity at the initial moment, such a mode of compression of the plasma may be achieved, that, starting from some time, the form of the cavity under the liner is close to quasispherical. In this mode, the compression coefficient may reach 10 exp 3 . (ERA citation 05:021485)
