Numerical simulation of the pulsed energy flows interaction with material in the Plasma Focus devices
Thermal effect of the Plasma Focus devices pulsed beam on the target material has been analyzed in the framework of hydrodynamic quasi-two-dimensional model of secondary plasma. Two mechanisms of significant extension of duration of the target plasma heating are examined: (1) thermostatic influence of working gas near the target surface heated on the pinching stage, and (2) energy output from decaying current oscillations under a discharge of capacity battery of Plasma Focus device.
