Application of the Wire Ablation Dynamics Model to the Design and Optimization of Wire Array Loads of Complex Geometry

Journal Article Esaulov, A. A. ; Kantsyrev, V. L. ; Safronova, A. S. ; ... - AIP Conference Proceedings

The implosion dynamics of wire array loads of complex geometry, such as nested cylindrical and planar wire arrays, is significantly affected by the uneven current distribution between the array wires, which was considered previously in the Wire Dynamics Model (WDM) simulations. The novel Wire Ablation Dynamics Model (WADM) extends the formalism of the original WDM by including the dynamics of wire ablation. The WADM simulations demonstrate that the implosions of the arrays with higher masses are more ablation dominated. The WADM simulations of the implosions dynamics of nested wire arrays have been performed for the short pulse (100 ns) andmore »« less

Measurements and simulations of the ablation stage of wire arrays with different initial wire sizes

Journal Article Sinars, D.B. ; Cuneo, M.E. ; Yu, E.P. ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

Comparisons of 20 mm diameter, 300-wire tungsten arrays with different initial wire sizes were made on the 20 MA Sandia Z facility. Radiographic measurements of each wire array, taken at the same point in the current during the wire ablation stage, show systematic differences. A detailed comparison of the radiography and self-emission data with simulations and analytic models suggests that a variation in the mass ablation rate with wire size may be responsible.

Convergence of shock waves generated by underwater electrical explosion of cylindrical wire arrays between different boundary geometries

Journal Article Yanuka, D. ; Zinowits, H. E. ; Krasik, Ya. E. ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

The results of experiments and numerical simulations of a shock wave propagating between either conical or parabolic bounding walls are presented. The shock wave was generated by a microsecond timescale underwater electrical explosion of a cylindrical wire array supplied by a current pulse having an amplitude of ∼230 kA and a rise time of ∼1 μs. It is shown that with the same energy density deposition into the exploding wire array, the shock wave converges faster between parabolic walls, and as a result, the pressure in the vicinity of convergence is ∼2.3 times higher than in the case of conical walls.
