Abstract
In this study, we investigate the response of linear liquid metal flow to a magnetic field when used as a load for high-repetition pulsed-power discharges and as a sheet for a laser target. When a magnetic field was applied perpendicular to the liquid metal flow, the flow deformed while maintaining its thickness. This approach may reduce current and enhance light sources in Z-pinch and alternative X-pinch discharges. However, low-frequency fluctuations were more prominent when the magnetic field was applied parallel to the liquid metal flow in sheet form. These findings suggest that combining liquid metal flow with a magnetic field could effectively facilitate high-repetition pulsed-power discharges and laser operations.
