Explosive Magnetic Liner Devices to Produce Shock Pressures Up to 3 Tpa
Abstract
The paper discusses devices with a Disk Explosive Magnetic flux compression Generator (DEMG), which are similar to the ALT-1,2 experimental devices and are intended for testing the possibility of producing 1-3 TPa (10-30 Mbar) pressures and the possibility of measuring Hugoniots of different materials at such pressures. It is expected that two-layer, cylindrical liners, Al+Fe and/or Al+W, will be used, driven by 4-5 MG magnetic fields to tilde 20 km/s velocities. The paper presents and discusses simulated characteristics of these devices, in which currents, energies and powers delivered to the liner load can reach tilde 70 MA, tilde 40 MJ and tilde 20 TW and exceed those in the ALT-1,2 devices by a factor of tilde 2, tilde 4 and tilde 7, respectively.
