Annual Report on Modeling of Imploded Annular Plasmas.
Abstract
This document presents the advances made in three major areas during the 1980 theoretical program in support of the NRL Plasma Radiation group. This support has provided new directions in which to seek quantitative explanation of the wire array radiation pulse and advancements in numerical and computational methodologies. The areas treated in this report are: (1) improvements to the 1-D magneto-hydro-dynamics SPLAT code and development of scaling laws governing the radiative output using this code; (2) development of calculations for solving the electric and magnetic field penetration/skin-depth problem in an inhomogeneous, time-varying imploding conductor in a plasma-loaded diode; (3) circuit equation and scaling of hard radiation in the presence of fully developed beading of the assembled plasma. Work in progress is also discussed.
