Simulation of the External Magnetic Field Effect on Fusion Plasma

Аннотация

Issues of numerical simulation of an experiment on compression and heating of a target in a magnetic field are discussed. It is found that the applied magnetic field predominantly increases the plasma lifetime and plasma jet characteristics (velocity, Mach number, density, etc.). An analysis of the effects of the application of an external magnetic field on the behavior of plasma-driven guns (plasma jets) and laser-driven systems (laser beams) is carried out. Thermodynamic questions in simulation of experiments on magnetic inertial synthesis are touched upon.
