Effects of parallel magnetic fields on sheaths near biased electrodes in a highly collisional Z-pinch plasma
C. R. Skolar, B. Srinivasan
Sheath formation near biased electrodes in magnetic fields parallel to the wall is an understudied topic, especially within the context of Z-pinch fusion experiments. We perform 1X…
The effect of spatially-varying collision frequency on the development of the Rayleigh-Taylor instability
John Rodman, James Juno, Bhuvana Srinivasan
The Rayleigh-Taylor (RT) instability is ubiquitously observed, yet has traditionally been studied using ideal fluid models. Collisionality can vary strongly across the fluid interf…
An investigation of shock formation versus shock mitigation of colliding plasma jets
Petr Cagas, James Juno, Ammar Hakim +4
This work studies the interaction between colliding plasma jets to understand regimes in which jet merging results in shock formation versus regimes in which the shock formation is…
Continuum kinetic investigation of the impact of bias potentials in the current saturation regime on sheath formation
Chirag R. Skolar, Kolter Bradshaw, James Juno +1
In this work, we examine sheath formation in the presence of bias potentials in the current saturation regime for pulsed power fusion experiments. It is important to understand how…
Resolving the mystery of electron perpendicular temperature spike in the plasma sheath
Yanzeng Zhang, Yuzhi Li, Bhuvana Srinivasan +1
A large family of plasmas has collisional mean-free-path much longer than the non-neutral sheath width, which scales with the plasma Debye length. The plasmas, particularly the ele…
Plasma sheath studies using a physical treatment of electron emission from a dielectric wall
Kolter Bradshaw, Petr Cagas, Ammar Hakim +1
When a plasma sheath forms next to a dielectric wall, material properties determine electron absorption and reflection from the surface, impacting the sheath formation and structur…
