Calculation of the dynamics of a shaped liner for quasispherical plasma compression
Abstract
Thermonuclear synthesis is initiated by a method which utilizes compression and retention of plasma in a magnetic field with the aid of a heavy metal liner. Megagauss magnetic fields and plasma pressures of ten billion to one hundred billion N/sqm can be achieved in doing so. The versions include an approach based on the idea of quasispherical compression of a compact toroidal structure with closed magnetic field by a liner. The plasma toroid with closed field is injected from a formation chamber into the cavity of a liner which is initially cylindrical. In the general case, a central conductor is positioned on the axis of the system in order to create a stabilizing toroidal field when a Tokomak type of toroid structure is used.
