Description

The implosion dynamics of an argon puff gas plasma is investigated using a 2-D radiation hydrodynamics/circuit model. The focus of this research is to determine and evaluate the radiative properties and performance of the imploding plasma for conditions created by driving a rapidly rising current through the Z-pinch load with a terawatt generator characteristic of the Double Eagle and Saturn simulators
