Cylindrical Liner Z-pinches as Drivers for Converging Strong Shock Experiments
Author: Guy C. Burdiak
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319069624
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 155
Book Description
The thesis represents the development of an entirely new experimental platform for generating and studying converging radiative shock waves. It was discovered that the application of large magnetic pressures to gas-filled cylindrical metallic tubes could sequentially produce three shocks within the gas. A comprehensive set of instrumentation was devised to explore this system in detail and an exceptionally thorough experimental and theoretical study was carried out in order to understand the source of the shock waves and their dynamics. The research is directed towards some of the most interesting topics in high energy density physics (HEDP) today, namely the interaction of HED material with radiation and magnetic fields, with broad applications to inertial confinement fusion (ICF) and laboratory plasma astrophysics. The work has already generated significant international interest in these two distinct research areas and the results could have significant importance for magnetic ICF concepts being explored at Sandia National Laboratories in the US and for our understanding of the very strong shock waves that are ubiquitous in astrophysics.

Diagnostic Experiments in a Magnetically Driven Shock Tube
Author: John B. Heywood
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Shock tubes
Languages : en
Pages : 57
Book Description
The experiments described in this report are intended to provide a detailed picture of the flow pattern inside a MAST when the initial magnetic field is in the axial direc tion. The experimental program was set up to provide answers to these two questions which had not been considered in detail before. First, do either of the two existing theoretical models considered predict an accurate over-all momentum balance for the device over a wide range of experimental conditions with an initial axial magnetic field. Second, what is the detailed flow pattern inside the device over a range of axial magnetic fields, and is either of the models considered a reasonable approximation to the observed flow pattern. It was hoped that evidence would be obtained to indicate that the shock separated from the current sheet, as one of the aims of the project was to develop a device that would produce a gas sample whose properties could be calculated. Of particular interest here was the switch-on shock wave, and it was hoped that the existence of such a shock could be demonstrated. When no evidence of a homogeneous gas sample was obtained, the current-sheet behavior was studied in an attempt to understand why the expected separation did not occur.
