Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The report discusses the completion and operational testing of the theta pinch experiment at the Naval Postgraduate School Plasma Facility. The system consists of a 42 micro F capacitor bank feeding a single turn theta pinch coil with a total energy capacity of 13.1 kJ. Included is a brief discussion of the theory of shock wave generation and propagation in a plasma along with experimental verification of reproducible hydrodynamic shock waves of Mach about 16 produced in a neutral Argon gas at 0.1 torr. Calculations based on the theory of shock wave thicknesses (3 cm.) are compared to observed values (10 cm.) at this pressure. An outline of proposed future experiments at the Plasma Facility is included in the recommendations. (Author).

This book was released on 1972 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A study was made of shock waves produced in neutral argon gas by a theta-pinch device. From the study, graphs were made of the velocity of the shock wave observed versus the applied magnetic field, the bank voltage of the capacitor bank, and the argon pressure in the plasma chamber.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The construction of the experimental apparatus for the investigation of the structure of hydromagnetic shock waves has been completed. By means of a technique developed in connection with so-called theta-pinch experiments a cylindrical plasma is produced with an internal magnetic field of variable magnitude. A fast rising external magnetic field is applied, which drives the plasma towards the axis thereby generating cylindrical shock waves. The density and the composition of the initial plasma, the magnitude of the internal magnetic field, the rise time and the maximum amplitude of the compressing field can be varied over a wide range. In particular it is possible to choose the parameters so that the ion mean free path in the shocked plasma is large compared to the ion cyclotron radius. (Author).
Download or read book Physics of High Density Z Pinch Plasmas written by Michael A. Liberman and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A "z pinch" is a deceptively simple plasma configuration in which a longitudinal current produces a magnetic field that confines the plasma. Z-pinch research is currently one of the fastest growing areas of plasma physics, with revived interest in z-pinch controlled fusion reactors along with investigations of new z-pinch applications, such as very high power x-ray sources, high-energy neutrons sources, and ultra-high magnetic fields generators. This book provides a comprehensive review of the physics of dense z pinches and includes many recent experimental results.
Download or read book Construction of a Theta Pinch for the Generation of Shock Waves in a Nitrogen Plasma written by Dennis Michael Budzik and published by . This book was released on 1970 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Theta-Pinch device was constructed for the production of shock waves in a nitrogen plasma. The device consisted of six 7 microfarad capacitors in parallel, and a one turn coil through which the capacitors were discharged. The rise time of the current in the coil is one microsecond, and the stored energy in the capacitors is 13 kJ at 25 kV. The large perturbation of the plasma is expected to produce large amplitude Alfven waves which would propagate up the plasma column. (Author).

Download or read book Physics of Shock Waves in Gases and Plasmas written by Michael A. Libermann and published by Springer. This book was released on 2012-07-26 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Emile Jouguet remarked, "the shock wave flew off the tip of the pen of a theoretician for the first time" about a hundred years ago. The physics of shock waves has since grown into an independent branch of science closely linked with a wide range of research areas, from astrophysics and plasma physics to solid-state physics. Since the beginning, theoretical investiga tion has kept its leading role. The present book is devoted to actual problems of the theory of shock waves in gases and plasmas, that are of general interest to physicists. It con tains the results of studies on shock structure, stability, evolutionarity and dynamics. Of special interest is the theory of shock phenomena in mag netic fields, which is important for applied research on controlled nuclear fusion. A substantial contribution to this theory has been made by these authors. This monograph is the first attempt in the literature to make a systematic presentation of the shock-structure theory.The theory is consistently sub stantiated by relevant experimental results obtained recently with the use of high-power electromagnetic shock tubes. The material contained here is applicable to the solution of a wide variety of problems arising in plasma physics, nuclear fusion and cosmic gasdynamics. I believe that this book will be of help and interest for a broad circle of research workers (physi cists, astrophysicists and engineers concerned with energy accumulation, shock phenomena and other related problems of plasma hydrodynamics) as well as for university staff, post- and undergraduates.
