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

Initiation of aluminum wire array on the 1-MA ZEBRA accelerator and its effect on ablation dynamics and x-ray yield

Journal Article Sarkisov, G S ; Rosenthal, S E ; Struve, K W ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

The effect of current prepulse on the initiation of Al wire arrays, ablation dynamics and x-ray production was investigated on the 1-MA ZEBRA accelerator (University of Nevada, Reno). It is shown that increasing the number of wires lowers the temperature of the wire cores at the time of breakdown. Al arrays with cold wire cores demonstrate long and inhomogeneous ablation, and a less intense, wider x-ray pulse. Shortening the current prepulse by a flashover switch causes an increased wire-core temperature, symmetrization and synchronization of the wires' ablation, and improvement of the amplitude and shape of the x-ray pulse.

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.
