The resonance state for the induction acceleration of a cylindrical plasma cluster

The resonance conditions for maximum attainable velocity of a cylindrical plasma cluster (theta pinch) were found by solving magnetohydrodynamic equations. A relation is given for the maximum kinetic energy of the cylindrical cluster which it can obtain from the external discharging circuit. Calculation is performed by means of methods of numerical calculation on a computing machine.
