Numerical analysis of plasma flows in an MPC duct with diverter
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:7028151
The two-dimensional MHD-flow of the ideal plasma in a channel of the magnetoplasma compressor (MPC) with an axial hole in the central electrode (divertor) is numerically simulated. The steady-state regime of the flow is obtained. The influence of finite and periodical density perturbation at the entry of the channel on the compressional flow properties is investigated. It is shown that the flow is stable under such perturbations.
