Abstract
High pressures and temperatures may be generated at the center an imploding plasma liner with applications in thermonuclear fusion, laboratory scale astrophysics, and high energy density physics. These phenomena are being studied on the Plasma Liner Experiment (PLX) in which a spherical liner is formed via the merging of plasma jets. The basic physical processes include pulsed plasma acceleration, plasma jet propagation in a vacuum, plasma jet merging, liner formation, liner implosion, stagnation, and rarefaction. A summary of PLX, some preliminary theory and modeling results, and scaling laws based on 3D hydrodynamic modeling are presented. We will emphasize our recent 3D hydro modeling, which provides insights into liner formation, implosion, and effects of initial jet parameters on scaling of peak pressure.
