The cylindrically converging shock in the target was observed with a series of 21 proton-radiographic frames down the axis of the cylinder. Proton radiography was performed using a ×3 magnetic lens magnifier and a 7.5-mrad collimator. The proton radiographic views were transformed from transmission images to areal density images, for comparison to a model. Results indicate that significant energy was expended in compacting the porous CeO2, as the wave velocity markedly decreases during convergence, and a clear shock reflected from the axis was not observed. These observations are inconsistent with pre-shot modeling, and highlight the need for an improved understanding of the physics of compaction under non-ideal loading configurations.","PeriodicalId":207949,"journal":{"name":"2018 16th International Conference on Megagauss Magnetic Field Generation and Related Topics (MEGAGAUSS)","volume":"7 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":"126546427","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}

Then, the problem can be defined both as a hydrodynamic one for a potential incompressible fluid flow and as an electrostatic one for an electric field potential. In the problem of a magnetic field flow around an ideally conducting screen with a slot the screen is divided into two conductors and the no-full-current condition for both of them results in a considerable magnetic flux (of the order of $c_{1}B_{0}D/1 (frac{c_{2}D}{Delta}))$ passing through a narrow slot of width $Delta$, where $B_{0}$ is the magnetic field at infinity, $D$ is the screen width, and $c_{1}$ and $c_{2}$ are dimensionless constants on the order of unity. This means that the average magnetic field in the slot will grow with decrease in $Delta$ and, in a sufficiently narrow slot, can by far exceed $B_{0}$ that can be used for magnetic field concentration in various devices. The constants $c_{1}$ and $c_{2}$ are approximately equal to $c_{1}=1.57, c_{2}=3.9$, so the slot-average magnetic field for a slot of width $Delta=0.01D$ will be 26Bo. The results also hold true for the hydrodynamic problem of a potential incompressible fluid flow around a screen with a slot. Instead of the magnetic field, there will be a velocity, and instead of the magnetic flux, a fluid flux with an average velocity concentrated in the slot according to the same law. The hydrodynamic problem of a flow around a screen with a slot can also be given in an axially symmetric setup, in the $pmb{r}$ and $z$ coordinates, when the screen is a round plate with an orifice. In this case, if the orifice is small enough, the fluid flux will be proportional to the orifice diameter $Delta$, and the velocity of the flow through the orifice will grow as $1/Delta$ with decrease in $Delta$, i.e. somewhat faster than in the planar case.","PeriodicalId":207949,"journal":{"name":"2018 16th International Conference on Megagauss Magnetic Field Generation and Related Topics (MEGAGAUSS)","volume":"12 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":"115095414","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}

An experiment was reported at MG-XIV in which a Ranchero FCG produced 76 MA peak current, and in MG-XV a design was presented which was intended to overcome a weakness uncovered in the 76 MA test. The name used for the new Ranchero configuration is “Ranchero-S”, and that improvement has now been successfully tested. The results of the test are presented in detail in another paper in this conference. This paper reports on scaling studies that are benchmarked by recent experiments, and which demonstrate the approach that would be taken to extend the Ranchero-S performance to levels of 100 MJ and 1.5 Weber. The primary scaling parameter for achieving larger currents is increasing the circumference of the FCG. Detonation systems are available in lengths of 0.43 m, 0.72 m, 1.0 m, and 1.44 m. The longer FCGs can operate with lower initial current for any given peak current and load, which allows them to be less effected by early time back pressure. However, at very high initial current, the effect of having a substantial field operating on a long armature over a substantial time can be seen. As diameter is increased, the flux compression time is increased if the initial inductance is held constant. The flux compression time can be held constant as radius is increased by keeping the armature to stator gap constant, with the result that the ideal gain is reduced for a given module length. The various possibilities are presented, with an emphasis on operating at current levels that approach the limits imposed by armature kinetic energy versus magnetic pressure. Another key feature in performing 100 MJ experiments is the existence of a booster generator which can produce seed currents well in excess of the three to four MA that can be delivered by the 2.4 MJ capacitor bank available at the Los Alamos explosive pulsed power firing facility. The MK-IX generator, which has been used in many experiments previously reported, has potential for producing the necessary seed current. However, a new booster FCG is being developed for that purpose, which will employ modern machining techniques to replace labor intensive methods required by the MK-IX fabrication. This FCG is called the MK-X, and the first test of this device is imminent. Either the MK-IX or the new MK-X booster will need further experimentation to demonstrate the capacity for delivering the approximately 2.5 Weber flux to a Ranchero FCG that projections in this paper require for the full 100 MJ, 1.5 Weber performance.","PeriodicalId":207949,"journal":{"name":"2018 16th International Conference on Megagauss Magnetic Field Generation and Related Topics (MEGAGAUSS)","volume":"3 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":"121061654","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 pulse magnetic field of > 50 T is generated inside the welding coil by the discharge of 40 kJ capacitor bank. Pulse discharge current of 132 kA and 112 kA is pumped in five turn disk coil and five turn disk coil with field shaper, which produces a magnetic field of 60 T and 50 T in 10 mm bore diameter of respective coils. This magnetic field exerts a pressure on the tubular job piece and accelerates it to impact at high velocity and obtains a weld. The inner region of the coils got deformed during welding of job pieces due to the high stress in the inner region.
