Experimental Study of Ion Heating in Obliquely Merging Hypersonic Plasma Jets
Samuel J Langendorf, Kevin C Yates, Scott C Hsu +2
In this experiment, we measure ion temperature evolution of collisional plasma shocks and colliding supersonic plasma flows across a range of species (Ar, Kr, Xe, N), Mach numbers,…
Experimental Measurements of Ion Heating in Collisional Plasma Shocks and Interpenetrating Supersonic Plasma Flows
Samuel J. Langendorf, Kevin C. Yates, Scott C. Hsu +2
We present time-resolved measurements of ion heating due to collisional plasma shocks and interpenetrating supersonic plasma flows, which are formed by the oblique merging of two c…
Experimental characterization of railgun-driven supersonic plasma jets motivated by high energy density physics applications
S. C. Hsu, E. C. Merritt, A. L. Moser +11
We report experimental results on the parameters, structure, and evolution of high-Mach-number (M) argon plasma jets formed and launched by a pulsed-power-driven railgun. The nomin…
