Near-Wall Effects Influence on Longitudinal Symmetry of a Solid Liner Compressed by a Slowly Increasing EMG Current
Abstract
Good longitudinal symmetry of magnetically driven metal cylindrical liners may be observed at a relatively short time of current rise, for example, in experiments at PEGASUS-2 facility [l]. Because of interaction of the liner with current-conducting edge walls the symmetry of compression may be much worse in experiments with a longer rise time of current delivered by explosive magnetic generators (EMG) [2]. The present paper describes the results of study of nearwall effects negative influence on longitudinal symmetry of compression of liners, close in design to experiments at PEGASUS-2 facility [l], but at an order higher duration of current supplied by helical EMG. The work was conducted within the frames of liner technology program (LT- 1 experiments).
