Recent wire-array Z-pinch experiments performed on the MAGPIE generator at Imperial College are presented at currents up to 1.5 MA. Experiments have been conducted using a variety of array configurations, including radial wire arrays, cylindrical arrays, and coiled arrays.
Summary form only given. Magneto-hydrodynamic simulations provide a powerful tool for improving our understanding of the complex physical processes underlying the behavior of wire array Z-pinches. With the advent of large scale parallel computing and three dimensional models, it is now becoming possible to model the entire plasma volume with sufficient resolution to capture the important physical...
Summary form only given. Magnetohydrodynamic simulations provide a powerful tool for improving our understanding of the complex physical processes underlying the behaviour of wire array Z-pinches. We show how, by using a combination of high resolution 3D simulations of a single wire in an array along with lower resolution simulations of the array as a whole, it is possible to encompass all of the...
