Анализ процессов формирования θ-пинча в лабораторных и природных условиях

Abstract

The processes that occur during the formation of pinch discharges have been intensively studied and are being studied in programs for the implementation of controlled thermonuclear fusion, however, it is still far from a complete understanding of the mechanisms during the discharge. There are significant achievements on the way to the implementation of CTS in magnetic traps, but the final conclusion about the advantages of this solution is still far away. This work is aimed at improving one of the problems of plasma physics, namely, explaining the fact of twisting and compression of the plasma flow in the θ-pinch. At the same time, an analysis is given of the possible reasons for the formation of this type of ionized air flows in natural conditions, namely, during tornadoes and similar phenomena (tornadoes and others). As one of the arguments for such a generalization, the fact of the existence of a deafening crack on the surface of the earth at the bases of a tornado is used, which is typical only for a stream of water droplets with a high potential, that is, a vertical current. As a basis for the analysis, the results of the experimental and theoretical analysis of a periodic discharge in a liquid flow (PDLF), which were thoroughly studied earlier, were taken.
