Title: Effect of ionization energy loss on plasma focus formation in an erosion-type magnetoplasma compressor

Abstract

The equations of radiation magnetogasdynamics, together with the real flow pattern and experimental data, are used to analyze the processes taking place in the plasma focus of a magnetoplasma compressor. It is shown that the energy lost in multiple ionization plays a big role in the energy balance of the plasma in the compression region of an erosion-type magnetoplasma compressor. The mechanisms for energy conversion demonstrated here serve as a guide to ways of controlling the parameters of the plasma focus. 14 references.
