Structure and Dynamics of Magneto-Inertial, Differentially Rotating Laboratory Plasmas
V. Valenzuela-Villaseca, L. G. Suttle, F. Suzuki-Vidal +9
We present a detailed characterization of the structure and evolution of differentially rotating plasmas driven on the MAGPIE pulsed-power generator (1.4 MA peak current, 240 ns ri…
Cooling and Instabilities in Colliding Radiative Flows with Toroidal Magnetic Fields
R. N. Markwick, A. Frank, E. G. Blackman +6
We report on the results of a simulation based study of colliding magnetized plasma flows. Our set-up mimics pulsed power laboratory astrophysical experiments but, with an appropri…
Radiative cooling effects on reverse shocks formed by magnetised supersonic plasma flows
S. Merlini, J. D. Hare, G. C. Burdiak +15
We study the structure of reverse shocks formed by the collision of supersonic, magnetised plasma flows driven by an inverse (or exploding) wire array with a planar conducting obst…
Morphology of Shocked Lateral Outflows in Colliding Hydrodynamic Flows
R. N. Markwick, A. Frank, J. Carroll-Nellenback +6
Supersonic interacting flows occurring in phenomena such as protostellar jets give rise to strong shocks, and have been demonstrated in several laboratory experiments. To study suc…
Characterization of Quasi-Keplerian, Differentially Rotating, Free-Boundary Laboratory Plasmas
V. Valenzuela-Villaseca, L. G. Suttle, F. Suzuki-Vidal +9
We present results from pulsed-power driven differentially rotating plasma experiments designed to simulate physics relevant to astrophysical disks and jets. In these experiments,…
Perpendicular subcritical shock structure in a collisional plasma experiment
D. R. Russell, G. C. Burdiak, J. J. Carroll-Nellenback +13
We present a study of perpendicular subcritical shocks in a collisional laboratory plasma. Shocks are produced by placing obstacles into the super-magnetosonic outflow from an inve…
