Hall-MHD in driven turbulence FLASH simulations
A. Mohapatra, E. C. Hansen, A. Reyes +3
The origin of magnetic fields in turbulent astrophysical systems has long been a central problem in plasma astrophysics. Fluctuation dynamos are a class of field amplification mech…
Measurement of ion acceleration and diffusion in a laser-driven magnetized plasma
J. T. Y. Chu, J. W. D. Halliday, C. Heaton +25
Here we present results from an experiment performed at the GSI Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion Research. A mono-energetic beam of chromium ions with initial energies of …
Shock Wave Formation in Radiative Plasmas
F. Garcia-Rubio, V. Tranchant, E. C. Hansen +6
The temporal evolution of weak shocks in radiative media is theoretically investigated in this work. The structure of radiative shocks has traditionally been studied in a stationar…
Feasibility and Performance of the Staged Z-Pinch: A One-dimensional Study with FLASH and MACH2
Edward C. Hansen, Fernando Garcia-Rubio, Marissa B. P. Adams +8
Z-pinch platforms constitute a promising pathway to fusion energy research. Here, we present a one-dimensional numerical study of the staged Z-pinch (SZP) concept using the FLASH a…
