Dense, Nonideal Plasma Research.
Abstract
Experimental and theoretical research on argon, xenon and air dense nonideal plasmas is reported. The study is focussed on the factors controlling specific energy, electrical conductivity and flow variables of a plasma pulse from an energetic explosively driven plasma source. Measurements and analyses of the plasma pulse passing through a magnetic field are reported. An average electrical power density output of 2.4 TW/m3-T2 was measured for a 2.5 MJ plasma pulse.
