万瓦级光纤激光焊接过程中小孔内外等离子体研究

为了进一步深入了解超高功率光纤激光深熔焊接过程中等离子体特征,试验拍摄了深熔小孔内外等离子体形态,并采用光谱仪检测分析了光纤激光致等离子体光谱信号.利用检测得到的等离子体光谱信号,计算研究了等离子体的电子温度、电子密度、电离度以及等离子体压力特征,并分析了在小孔内不同深度处及孔外等离子体的变化规律.结果表明,孔内等离子体呈现不均匀分布特征,孔外金属蒸气远多于等离子体.等离子体光谱分析显示,光纤激光致等离子体辐射出的谱线较少,即电离程度较低.进一步的计算结果同样证实了光纤激光致等离子体处于弱电离状态,但等离子体电子密度仍然处于较高水平,且等离子体瞬态压力可达到数百个大气压.     

Expansion dynamics of atmospheric pressure helium plasma jet in ambient air

In this work, the expansion dynamics of a helium plasma jet in ambient air is examined. By using a fast imaging technique, the expansion of plasma jet from glass nozzle to air is captured which is in the form of plasma bullet propagating into the air. To understand the plasma bullet travel path from glass nozzle to plasma jet tip a drag force model is used. Moreover, the spatial variation of plasma density along the plasma jet length is estimated using drift velocity, plasma jet current and the cross-sectional area of the plasma jet. It is observed that the slight increase in plasma density is due to the combined effect of reduction of drift velocity, plasma jet current, and jet cross-sectional area. The obtained plasma density from glass nozzle to jet tip is in the range of (0.069-5.96) × 10¹² cm⁻³. The above parameters can be of the essence in biological and industrial applications.

基于激光等离子体尾波解析模型,分析了毛细管中激光与等离子体相互作用,数值计算了尾波中基本物理量。计算结果表明:毛细管等离子体尾波幅度与毛细管半径有关,在较小的毛细管中尾波幅度更大。在相同的激光与等离子体参数情况下,与无界等离子体尾波相比较,毛细管等离子体尾波中电子空泡纵向尺度、电场强度峰值、角向自生磁场强度峰值提高了60%,这些特征都表明毛细管等离子体尾波更有利于电子加速。

为了提高微波等离子推力器性能，改善等离子体对电磁波能量的吸收状况，提高核心区温度，提出外加磁场的方案，并对热等离子体进行了数值模拟.假设局域热平衡条件，采用Navier-Stokes，Maxwell和Saha方程，利用压力修正的半隐格式和时域有限差分求解方法，建立了径向磁镜场下推力器内等离子体流场的数值计算模型.数值模拟结果表明：外加磁场后的磁感应强度小于0.5 T时，推力器内热等离子体核心区最高温度随磁感应强度的增加而迅速提高.外加磁场后的磁感应强度大于0.5 T时，核心区最高温度随磁感应强度的增加而缓慢提高.磁感应强度为0.5 T时，热等离子体核心区最高温度与不加磁场相比提高了24%.外加磁场对等离子体流场速度分布影响不大. 关键词： 等离子体模拟 等离子体相互作用 等离子体流动     

光谱法研究一种具有渐变折射率的新型等离子体光子晶体

在双水电极介质阻挡放电装置中,在氩气和空气的混合气体放电过程中通过改变气体压强可以得到一种新型等离子体光子晶体。该光子晶体具有四边形的复杂对称结构,包括晶胞中心处的细等离子体柱、四周的等离子体片、等离子体片交叉点产生的等离子体柱和边缘处的粗等离子柱。运用发射光谱法研究了该等离子体光子晶体不同位置处的等离子体状态,通过测量氩原子696.54 nm(2P2→1S5)发射谱线的展宽对比了电子密度,通过氮分子第二正带系(C3Πu→B3Πg)发射谱线计算了分子振动温度。实验结果证实,不但晶胞中心处的细等离子体柱、四周的等离子体片、等离子体片交叉点产生的等离子体柱和边缘处的粗等离子柱具有不同的等离子体状态,不同位置处的晶胞中心细等离子体柱也具有不同的等离子体状态。电子密度由大到小排列依次为:4个角上的细等离子体柱(A)、靠近4个边的细等离子体柱(B)、靠近中心的细等离子体柱(C)、边缘处的粗等离子体柱(D)、等离子体片交叉点产生的等离子体柱(E)、四周的等离子体片(F)。分子振动温度的变化规律与电子密度相反。由于该晶体结构中A、B、C 3处的折射率均不相同,由内向外呈周期性渐变排列,它们和其他位置处不同的等离子体状态构成了具有渐变折射率的等离子体光子晶体。     

Amplification of longitudinal plasma oscillations upon a decrease in plasma concentration

Amplification of plasma oscillations in a homogeneous plasma by reducing its concentration is considered. The frequency of plasma oscillations decreases upon a decrease in the plasma concentration, and the resonant velocity of the plasma electrons, which is equal to the wave phase velocity, also decreases. Due to this, the number of resonant electrons exponentially increases in the equilibrium plasma. Since the energy of plasma oscillations is mainly determined by the contribution of the resonant electrons, this energy also increases exponentially.     

强光一号POS等离子体源性能参数测量

以强光一号等离子体源（电缆枪）为研究对象,采用电荷收集器（法拉第杯）对强光一号等离子体源性能参数进行测量。实验结果表明:等离子体发射密度与电缆等离子体枪枪芯到枪口的距离正相关,而发射速度与电缆等离子体枪枪芯到枪口的距离负相关;增大电缆枪驱动电压时,等离子体发射密度增速远小于驱动电流增速。重复性研究表明,对由数十支电缆枪组成的等离子体源而言,单支电缆枪放电分散性对其输出等离子体整体分布均匀性影响不大。不确定度分析表明,通过多次重复实验求平均值,可以有效减小实验结果的不确定度,发射密度测量结果的合成标准不确定度在10%以内。     

Cable guns as a plasma source in a plasma opening switch

The characteristics of a plasma generated by cable plasma guns have been studied by a laser interferometer. Cable plasma guns are frequently used as a plasma source in plasma opening switches. In our experiments, the plasma source consists of eight coaxial cable guns mounted on the outer electrode of concentric coaxial electrodes. The reproducibility of the gun in subsequent shots is found to be better than 10%, and the gun-to-gun difference is less than 15%. Assuming a symmetry of eight guns, the contour maps of the electron plasma density are plotted as functions of time. The plasma density becomes maximum near the gun nozzle and near the inner coaxial electrode. The plasma density is low in the area between the coaxial electrodes during the early time of the discharge. At a later time, the plasma fills the space between the two guns more uniformly. Still photographs of the plasma luminosity show a good correspondence with the plasma density plots which were taken 10 μs after the discharge initiation. The plasma gun system is designed for use in a 400-kA inductive voltage adder with the inductive energy storage system     

FINITE-DIFFERENCE TIME-DOMAIN ANALYSIS OF UNMAGNETIZED PLASMA PHOTONIC CRYSTALS

The plasma photonic crystal is a periodic array composed of alternating thin unmagnetized (or magnetized) plasmas and dielectric materials (or vacuum). In this paper, the piecewise linear current density recursive convolution finite-difference time-domain method for the simulation of isotropic unmagnetized plasma is applied to model unmagnetized plasma photonic crystal structures. A perfectly matched layer absorbing material is used in these simulations. In time-domain, the electromagnetic propagation process of a Gaussian pulse through an unmagnetized plasma photonic crystal is investigated. In frequency-domain, the reflection and transmission coefficients through unmagnetized plasma photonic crystals are computed and their dependence on plasma frequency, plasma thickness, collision frequency is studied. The results show theoretically that the electromagnetic bandgaps of unmagnetized plasma photonic crystals are tuned by the plasma parameters.     

复杂结构自组织等离子体光子晶体光谱研究

利用双水电极介质阻挡放电装置,在气体放电中产生了一种由放电丝自组织形成的复杂结构等离子体光子晶体。该晶体结构由许多四边形的晶胞组成,每个晶胞包括大点、两种不同的小点和线,分别对应粗等离子体柱、两种细等离子体柱和等离子体片。采用发射光谱法,对不同位置处的等离子体状态进行了研究,对比了其电子密度和分子振动温度。具体方法是通过氩原子696.54 nm(2P₂→1S₅)的发射谱线测量谱线展宽进而对比电子密度,通过氮分子第二正带系(C3Π_u→B3Π_g)的发射谱线计算分子振动温度。结果发现：四种不同位置的等离子体具有不同的电子密度和分子振动温度,即它们各自处于不同的等离子体态。电子密度按照降序排列顺序依次为：中心粗等离子体柱四周的细等离子体柱、粗等离子体柱、边缘处的等离子体片、等离子体片交叉点处的细等离子体柱;分子振动温度的变化趋势与电子密度相反。由于等离子体电子密度不同,对光的折射率也不同,因此在该晶体结构中,粗等离子体柱、两种细等离子体柱以及等离子体片具有不同的折射率,它们和周围未放电的区域自组织形成具有五种折射率的复杂结构等离子体光子晶体。该等离子体光子晶体易于产生,具有结构多样、分析简单的优点,具有广泛的应用前景。

Numerical study of physical properties of resistive wall modes in tokamaks

The effect of plasma with toroidal rotation on the resistive wall modes in tokamaks is studied numerically. An eigenvalue method is adopted to calculate the growth rate of the modes for changing plasma resistivity and plasma density distribution, as well as the diffusion time of magnetic field through the resistive wall. It is found that the resistive wall mode can be suppressed by the toroidal rotation of the plasma. Also, the growth rate of the resistive wall mode decreases when the edge plasma density is the same as the core plasma density, but it only changes slightly with the plasma resistivity.     

Influence of a background gas on expanding plasma clots

An expansion of finite plasma clots into the background neutral gas is studied numerically. The presented model includes the quasineutrality violation as well as the interpenetration of plasma and neutral gas at the boundary of the plasma. We estimate the region of plasma parameters where the model is correct. Space distributions of main plasma parameters, cooling of electrons and the process of inter-penetration of the plasma and the neutral gas are analysed as well as an empiric formula for electron temperature is found. Finally, it is shown that the most intensive plasma-gas inter-penetration occurs in the case where the initial plasma and gas densities are the same.     

Inhomogeneous relativistic electron beam interaction with inhomogeneous warm plasma

The interaction of inhomogeneous relativistic electron beam with inhomogeneous bounded warm plasma, which leads to amplification of waves, is analyzed. It is shown that due to the resonant increase in wave’s field with a decrease in the plasma permittivity to zero, the power absorbed by plasma is finite and depends on the plasma thermal velocity. The relativistic electron beam not only amplifies waves in plasma but also provides efficient absorption of these waves by plasma.     

Effect of the initial plasma parameters on the structure of the current sheets developing in two-dimensional magnetic fields with a null line

The effect of the initial plasma parameters on the structure of the plasma of the current sheets that form in two-dimensional magnetic fields with a null line is studied by holographic interferometry. The evolution of the plasma sheets that develop in an initial low-density plasma, where a gas is mainly ionized by a pulse current passing through the plasma and initiating the formation of a current sheet, has been comprehensively studied for the first time. At the early stage of evolution, the spatial structure of such a plasma sheet differs substantially from the classic current sheets forming in a dense plasma. Nevertheless, extended plasma sheets with similar parameters form eventually irrespective of the initial plasma density.     

平行轨道加速器等离子体动力学特性研究

等离子体电磁加速器可产生高速度、高密度等离子体射流而广泛应用于核物理、天体物理等领域.本文通过光电二极管、磁探头研究了不同放电电流和初始气压条件下等离子体在平行轨道加速器内的轴向运动特性.通过电流截断的方法,采用冲击摆测量了首次等离子体射流的动量.平行轨道加速器驱动电源由14级脉冲形成网络组成,每级电容为1.5μF,每级电感约为300 nH,得到振荡衰减型方波的电流波形.实验发现,电流过零时,轨道起始处一般会发生二次击穿,并形成二次轴向运动的等离子体.放电电流为10—55 kA、初始气压为200—1000 Pa时,等离子体的轴向速度为8—25 km/s.实验获得的等离子体的运动速度为雪犁模型理论结果的60%—80%,这主要是理论模型忽略了电极表面对电弧的黏滞阻力以及电极烧蚀引起的质量增加.等离子体动量与电流的平方随时间的积分成正比.放电电流为21-51.6 kA时,首次等离子体射流的动量为1.49—9.88 g·m/s.等离子体运动过程中除了受到洛伦兹力外,还会受到电极表面的黏滞阻力,造成等离子体动量约为理论结果的75%.

Spontaneous formation of a plasma hole in a rotating magnetized plasma: a giant burgers vortex in a compressible fluid

Spontaneous formation of a cylindrical density cavity, or "plasma hole," has been observed in a rotating magnetized plasma. Density of the plasma hole is one-tenth of that of ambient plasma and is bounded by a steep transition layer of the order of several ion Larmor radii. The flow velocity field associated with the plasma hole is experimentally determined, exhibiting a monopole vortical structure. It is found that the vorticity distribution is localized near the center of the hole and is identified as a Burgers vortex. This is the first experimental observation of a Burgers vortex in a plasma.
