Abstract
Plasma jets obtained at pulsed power facilities are considered. This is one of the most relevant areas of laboratory astrophysics, namely the study of astrophysical jets. The work is devoted to numerical simulation of plasma jets formed by a high-current vacuum arc discharge. Radiation magnetic gas dynamics models are applied. The use of wide-range equations of state and improved models of radiative energy transfer provided calculated results comparable with experimental data and evaluation of the similarity criteria of astrophysical and laboratory jets. Experiments with hydrogen jets, which best correspond to astrophysical prototypes, seem to be the most promising.
