This paper presents the results of the experiment with an overmassed wire-array $Z$ -pinch load that is powered by a current pulse (amplitude ~4.3 MA and rise time $\sim 0.9~\mu \text{s}$ ) from a multidisk magnetocumulative generator.

A magnetohydrodynamic model of irradiating Z-pinch is the basis of a 2-D (in Euler cylindrical coordinates r-z) computer code FLUX-rz developed in VNIIEF (Russia). Earlier, the code considered the thermal radiation transfer in one-group (gray) diffusion approximation. This paper presents a modification of the FLUX-rz code in which we realized a multigroup diffusion model of the radiation transfer....Show More
