Speed2 Driven A Gas Embedded Z-Pinch: A Preliminary Approach

Abstract

A 0-D model for a quasi static Z-pinch with variable line density has been applied to determined the initial conditions to produce a gas embedded Z-pinch to be driven by SPEED2 generator. Initial conditions to produce a gas embedded Z-pinch with enhanced stability by means resistive effects and by finite Larmor radius effects are obtained.
