Abstract

The passage of current through the electrodes of a plasma focus chamber is analyzed taking into account the skin effect; the thermal load on the elliptical shaped electrodes is studied in the interaction with the current-plasma sheath, calculated within the two-dimensional ideal magnetohydrodynamic model. The heating of the anode of the plasma focus chamber by the discharge current is assessed under the limit modes of operation. Signs of the thermal action of plasma particles on the electrode surface are demonstrated.
