Radiation-Hydrodynamics Effects in an Inhomogeneous Medium
Christopher L. Fryer, Paul A. Keiter, Vidushi Sharma +9
Radiation flow through an inhomogeneous medium is critical in a wide range of physics and astronomy applications from transport across cloud layers on the earth to the propagation…
Characterization of fast magnetosonic waves driven by compact toroid plasma injection along a magnetic field
F. Chu, S. J. Langendorf, J. Olson +5
Magnetosonic waves are low-frequency, linearly polarized magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves commonly found in space, responsible for many well-known features, such as heating of the s…
Formation of Transient High- Plasmas in a Magnetized, Weakly Collisional Regime
T. Byvank, D. A. Endrizzi, C. B. Forest +3
We present experimental data providing evidence for the formation of transient (s) plasmas that are simultaneously weakly magnetized (i.e., Hall magnetization parameter…
Observation of Shock-Front Separation in Multi-Ion-Species Collisional Plasma Shocks
Tom Byvank, Samuel J. Langendorf, Carsten Thoma +1
We observe shock-front separation and species-dependent shock widths in multi-ion-species collisional plasma shocks, which are produced by obliquely merging plasma jets of a He/Ar…
