Possible origins of this phenomenon are (1) lowering temperature of the samples due to magnetocaloric effect with adiabatic condition realized in the fast (micro-second) pulsed magnetic field, and (2) spin-lattice separation due to a slow response of the magnetostriction whose response time is longer than microsecond range.","PeriodicalId":207949,"journal":{"name":"2018 16th International Conference on Megagauss Magnetic Field Generation and Related Topics (MEGAGAUSS)","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131514233","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The idea then, as now, was to create a stable liner to compress magnetic fields or magnetized plasmas to high energy densities up to thermonuclear fusion conditions. Other liner compression schemes have been unsuccessful because of instabilities - in particular the Rayleigh-Taylor instability. In the case of Linus and SLC, stability is provided by rotation of the liner, which is formed from liquid metal. The current project has been supported by the Advanced Research Projects Agency - Energy (ARPA-E) under the ALPHA program, whose goal is to further technologies enabling lower-cost fusion approaches [3]. A critical tool for understanding and designing compression systems is MACH2, a 2 1/2-D ALE magnetohydrodynamics simulation code [4]. In this paper, we present the results of simulations leading to a point design for SLC demonstration, as well as an engineering description of the point design.

The paper presents the studies of the dynamic properties of various materials in the liner experiments using a helical EMG equipped with an explosive switch as a source of pulsed power. The setup and results of a series of experiments investigating the shear strength of beryllium in the strain rate range of 103–104 s−1 are described. A comparative analysis of applicability of various computational models for a description of the deformation process in axisymmetric geometry has been performed. The results of experiments studying the lead “ejecta” process under conditions of shock-wave loading are presented.

The explosively driven switch has been extremely effective in a wide range of large-scale experiments but good, predictive, computational models of its performance have proven elusive, possibly because the temper of the metal conductor has not been previously considered. Small-scale experiments were employed to study the effects of metal temper. It was found that the dynamic resistivity of the switch increased significantly with metal hardness; the dynamic resistivity of the hardest foils being approximately three times that of the dead-soft material. These results suggest that metal fracture is an important aspect of the EFF behavior.","PeriodicalId":207949,"journal":{"name":"2018 16th International Conference on Megagauss Magnetic Field Generation and Related Topics (MEGAGAUSS)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127627373","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The onset of electrical breakdown between stator and armature was predicted to occur just ahead of the advancing shock front of the expanding armature. A special set of generators was constructed without the usual stator wire insulation, so that the nitrogen fill gas was the only dielectric in the system. In this simplified configuration it was possible to predict when and where electrical breakdown would occur and benchmark the model. In this paper we describe the technique used to calculate the internal electric fields in helical generators, including the cases of only gas insulation and gas plus solid dielectric at the stator. The electric field model has been incorporated into the CAGEN explosive generator modeling code [2–4] and applied to the LLNL Mini-G [5,6] helical generator design.","PeriodicalId":207949,"journal":{"name":"2018 16th International Conference on Megagauss Magnetic Field Generation and Related Topics (MEGAGAUSS)","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117238599","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Independent on power generation, high current pulse transmission to load has to deal with structural transition in transmission line, massive electrons/ions insulation, ~MA/cm current density, megagauss (MG) magnetic field and its diffuse into conductor. The current loss across transition and the penetration of MG magnetic fields into conductors may cause anode-cathode gap closure, and even transmission failure. In order to understand the pulse transmission property in MA/cm range, two types of experiments were carried out on the Primary Test Stand. In the stainless steel electrode transmission experiments, the expansion velocity of conductor at several MG magnetic field was recorded with displacement interferometer system and the evolution process of dense plasma were recorded by shadowgraphy system. One dimensional magneto-hydrodynamics (MHD) simulations to the experiments were carried out and a threshold magnetic field of 3.3 MG for thermal plasma formation was inferred for stainless steel. In the coaxial-conical transition experiment, current transmission efficiency under MA/cm current density was derived for different states.
