Description

New self-similar solutions describe the subsonic compression of a plasma with an entrained axial magnetic field by a thin cylindrical liner. Effects of Ohmic dissipation, thermal conductivity, and plasma turbulence are included. The self-similar solutions, obtained in an explicit analytic form, demonstrate that magnetic flux can be compressed by an externally driven annular plasma shell with small losses
