Description

The imploding large Larmor radius Z pinch is studied numerically using a modified Vlasov-Fluid model including the effect of electron temperature. Sheared axial ion flow is seen to develop in agreement with the cold electron case with the flow profiles being of similar form and magnitude. These results contrasts with the equivalent fluid case where no flow would be generated
