双层丝阵Z箍缩电流分配实验研究

负载内外层电流分配是决定双层丝阵Z箍缩内爆动力学模式的关键因素. 在"强光一号"装置上, 利用微型磁探针系统定量测量了双层钨丝阵三个重要径向位置点的电流, 获得了其在驱动电流开始上升至驱动电流达到峰值之前20ns这一阶段内的时间演化行为. 实验使用的双层钨丝阵负载高度为20mm、单丝直径为3.8μm、内/外层丝阵直径分别为8mm/16mm. 对比了内/外层丝根数分别为42/21和21/42时电流分配的差异. 结果表明: 驱动电流上升过程中, 内外层丝阵的电流均逐步增大, 外层丝阵电流份额逐渐减小, 而内层丝阵电流份额逐渐增大; 内层丝阵最大电流份额未超过50%; 内/外层丝根数为21/42的负载外层电流较大. 关键词： Z箍缩 双层丝阵 电流分配     

Direct experimental evidence for current-transfer mode operation of nested tungsten wire arrays at 16-19 MA

Nested tungsten wire arrays (20-mm on 12-mm diam.) are shown for the first time to operate in a current-transfer mode at 16-19 MA, even for azimuthal interwire gaps of 0.2 mm that are the smallest typically used for any array experiment. After current transfer, the inner wire array shows discrete wire ablation and implosion characteristics identical to that of a single array, such as axially nonuniform ablation, delayed acceleration, and trailing mass and current. The presence of trailing mass from the outer and the inner arrays may play a role in determining nested array performance.     

X-ray observations of tungsten wire array Z-pinch implosions on QiangGuang-1 facility

Z-pinch experiments with two arrays consisting, respectively, of 32 4-μm- and 6-μm-diameter tungsten wires have been carried out on QiangGuang-1 facility with a current rising up to 1.5MA in 80ns. At early time of implosion, x-ray framing images show that the initial emission comes from the central part of arrays, and double clear emission rings, drifting to the anode and the cathode at 5×10⁶cm/s and 2.4×10⁷cm/s respectively, are often produced near the electrodes. Later, in a 4-μm-diameter tungsten wire array, filamentation caused by ohmic heating is prominent, and more than ten filaments have been observed. A radial inward shift of arrays starts at about 30\,ns earlier than the occurrence of the x-ray peak power for both kinds of arrays, and the shrinkage rate of emission region is as high as 1.7×10⁷cm/s in a 4-μm-diameter tungsten wire array, which is two times higher than that in a 6-μm one. Emission from precursor plasmas is observed in implosion of 6-μm-diameter tungsten wire arrays, but not in implosion of a 4-μm-diameter tungsten wire array. Whereas, in a 4-μm-diameter tungsten wire array, the soft x-ray emission shows the growth of m=1 instability in the plasma column, which is caused by current. The reasons for the discrepancy between implosions of 4-μm- and 6-μm-diameter tungsten wire arrays are explained.     

Effect of core-corona plasma structure on seeding of instabilities in wire array Z pinches

We present the first measurements by x-ray radiography of the development of instabilities during the implosion phase of wire array Z pinches. The seeding of perturbations on the dense core of each wire is provided by nonuniform sweeping of the low-density coronal plasma from the cores by the global JxB force. The spatial scale of these perturbations ( approximately 0.5 mm for Al and approximately 0.25 mm for W) is determined by the size of the wire cores ( approximately 0.25 mm for Al and approximately 0.1 mm for W). A qualitative change in implosion dynamics, with transition to 0D-like trajectory, was observed in Al arrays when the ratio of interwire gap to wire core size was decreased to approximately 3.

Experiments with wire arrays at a submicrosecond current risetime

Experiments with wire arrays of the z-pinch geometry consisting of copper and tungsten wires of length up to 8 cm have been performed on the GIT-12 generator at a current pulse risetime of ∼300 ns and ∼1 μs. These modes were compared as to the efficiency of the wire array implosion. For the 300-ns pulse a ∼5-nH/cm change in inductance has been achieved. It has been demonstrated that the lifetime of the plasma precursor is proportional to the current risetime. Institute of High Current Electronics, Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

Z箍缩驱动器与丝阵负载耦合特性研究

以丝阵内爆零维模型为基础,采用Pspice模拟行为建模方法,建立了丝阵内爆动态电感与Z箍缩驱动器耦合的全电路模型,实现驱动器放电过程与丝阵内爆过程的自洽求解,并研究了丝阵参数、电路参数对内爆过程的影响.结果表明:丝阵负载与驱动器存在强耦合关系,丝阵参数、电路参数对丝阵峰值箍缩电流、内爆时间、内爆动能影响很大;在驱动器参数不变,内爆时间不超过电路固有放电周期1/4的前提下,峰值箍缩电流、内爆时间、内爆动能随丝阵质量的增加而增大,内爆时间随丝阵初始半径的增加而增大;在丝阵参数不变时,随着驱动器等效电容的增大,内爆时间减小,丝阵内爆动能增大,但驱动器储能转化为内爆动能的效率却先增大后减小.对于特定的驱动器,优化的丝阵参数应使内爆过程充分利用驱动器固有放电周期的上升沿,使丝阵快速收缩的时间起点接近电路固有放电周期的四分之一,以获得最大的动能效率. 关键词： Z箍缩驱动器 零维内爆模型 模拟行为建模 耦合特性     

Z箍缩等离子体内爆实验金属丝阵负载优化设计分析

金属丝阵Z箍缩(Z-pinch)内爆是产生强x射线辐射的重要方法之一.在一定脉冲功率加速器条件下，金属丝阵质量和丝阵半径的选择决定了Z-pinch内爆等离子体辐射产额的大小.采用薄壳模型计算了不同丝阵质量、不同丝阵半径、不同粗细和不同材料金属丝构成的丝阵的内爆时间、内爆轨迹、内爆速度，以及最大动能和动能转换率，综合分析了丝间隙、内爆时间、动能转换率与丝阵质量和丝阵半径的关系，给出了在一定负载驱动电流条件下，金属丝阵的最佳参数.分析表明计算结果与实验上观察得到的内爆规律一致. 关键词： Z-pinch内爆等离子体 金属丝阵负载 薄壳模型

Current-induced implosion of a multiwire array as a radial plasma rainstorm

We present our experimental results of the X-ray radiography of fast radiating Z-pinches based on cylindrical multiwire tungsten arrays. The experiments were carried out at the Angara-5-1 facility at an electrical power of up to 4 TW with a discharge current of up to 4 MA rising at a rate on the order of 5×10¹³ A s^?1. The linear mass of single and composite arrays reached 500 µg cm^?1, the initial radius was 4–10 mm, and the wire diameter was 5–8 µm. We have experimentally shown that for the current-induced implosion of multiwire tungsten arrays, significant azimuthal and axial plasma inhomogeneities result from discharge cold start and prolonged plasma production, which determine the subsequent course of the implosion. The Z-pinch structure also remains spatially inhomogeneous at the time of intense X-ray radiation. The generated inhomogeneous plasma collapses toward the array axis in the form of numerous radially elongated plasmoids with relatively small diameters. The stream of plasmoids is called a radial plasma rainstorm. As the plasmoids contract toward the array axis, they decrease in radial size and merge into isolated plasma current filaments, which are elongated mainly along the discharge axis. We critically discuss the models of a radiating Z-pinch in plasma composed of matter with a large atomic number that disregard the cold-start and prolonged plasma-production effects.

Dynamics of mass transport and magnetic fields in low-wire-number-array Z pinches

The dynamics of mass transport were observed in a wire array implosion with multiframe laser probing. Plasma bubbles arise at breaks in the wires. Interferometry shows that the leading edge of the bubbles brings material to the axis of the array. The speed of this material was measured to be > or =3 x 10(7) cm/s during the wire array implosion. A shock was observed during the collision of the bubbles with the precursor. The Faraday effect indicates current flowing in breaks on the wires. The current switches from the imploding mass to the on-axis plasma column at the beginning of the x-ray pulse.     

Radiation characteristics and implosion dynamics of tungsten wire array Z-pinches on the YANG accelerator

We investigated the radiation characteristics and implosion dynamics of low-wire-number cylindrical tungsten wire array Z-pinches on the YANG accelerator with a peak current 0.8-1.1 MA and a rising time ～ 90 ns.The arrays are made up of(8-32)×5 μm wires 6/10 mm in diameter and 15 mm in height.The highest X-ray power obtained in the experiments was about 0.37 TW with the total radiation energy ～ 13 kJ and the energy conversion efficiency ～ 9%(24×5 μm wires,6 mm in diameter).Most of the X-ray emissions from tungsten Z-pinch plasmas were distributed in the spectral band of 100-600 eV,peaked at 250 and 375 eV.The dominant wavelengths of the wire ablation and the magneto-Rayleigh-Taylor instability were found and analyzed through measuring the time-gated self-emission and laser interferometric images.Through analyzing the implosion trajectories obtained by an optical streak camera,the run-in velocities of the Z-pinch plasmas at the end of the implosion phase were determined to be about(1.3-2.1)×10 7 cm/s.     

“强光一号”装置上部分Z箍缩实验结果的物理分析

从原子的电离能和维持等离子体所需能量出发，给出了估算任一元素材料，要产生任一壳层的X射线辐射，每个离子(原子)所需要的基本能量和要达到的内爆箍缩速度的方法.对“强光一号”加速器上典型的氪喷气和部分钨丝阵Z箍缩实验的电流和电压波形所蕴涵的丰富物理信息进行了分析，得到了电感和洛伦兹(Lorentz)力做功等物理量的变化规律以及负载参数变化对它们的影响.该电感与基于壳层模型计算出的电感有较大的差异.前者随箍缩开始而缓慢增大，甚至在箍缩到心和飞散后还在增大，最后大致稳定在100 nH附近.差异可能是由于壳层模型过于简化和电流电压的测点同负载有一定的距离而造成的.当丝阵直径为8 mm时，洛伦兹力做功最大；当丝阵直径相同时，丝数较大时，洛伦兹力做功也较大.同时还对该加速器的喷气和丝阵负载的线质量进行了优化，表明也是直径为8 mm的钨丝阵为最佳负载，这同实验的优化结果也一致.     

Z箍缩内爆产生的电磁脉冲辐射

讨论了Z箍缩内爆产生的低频电磁脉冲的辐射特性. Z箍缩驱动金属丝阵或固体套筒高速内爆,部分磁能通过与负载的运动耦合而向外辐射. 理论结果表明,电磁脉冲辐射功率由电流和内爆轨迹共同决定. 在中国工程物理研究院流体物理研究所的初级实验平台上开展了负载电流为7 MA,10%–90%上升时间65 ns的丝阵Z箍缩实验,根据实验测得的电流和内爆轨迹得到了电磁脉冲的辐射功率和频谱. 电磁脉冲峰值功率约为1 GW,能量约为0.5 J,能量转换效率约为10^-7;峰值频率位于20–70 MHz,具有较宽的辐射频谱. 电磁脉冲辐射参数远小于软X射线辐射参数（峰值功率为50 TW,能量为0.5 MJ）. 在弱相对论条件下,电磁脉冲辐射功率近似地正比于电流的6次方,随电流急剧增大. 软X射线辐射是丝阵Z箍缩过程中的主要能量转换形式,本文的研究结论表明,在更高的驱动电流下,电磁脉冲辐射将提供另一种重要的能量转换途径,势必会对诊断设备造成严重影响;此外,这类强电磁脉冲在其他领域也具有潜在的应用价值. 关键词： Z箍缩 内爆 电磁脉冲
