Abstract
This paper presents the results of studies of plasma flow parameters on the PF-1000U facility. A distinctive feature of this facility is the ability to create profiled initial gas distributions using gas puffs. In the experiments described, a combined system for filling the vacuum chamber with a working gas was used, in which an additional injection of various gases (deuterium, helium, neon and their mixtures) into the axial region of the chamber prefilled with deuterium was performed using a pulse valve. Thus, both the pinching processes and, accordingly, the generation of axial plasma flows and the conditions of their propagation in the background gas of the facility chamber were affected. Regimes with the generation of compact stable plasma formations propagating over long distances were found. The results obtained can be used in laboratory modelling of astrophysical jets from young stellar objects.
