[论文解读] First steps towards a theory of the Dense Plasma Focus: Part-I: Kinematic framework with built-in propagation delay and nonzero thickness of dense sheath for generalized electrode geometry
本文提出了一种用于密集等离子体聚焦(DPF)的运动学框架,该框架引入了传播延迟和非零鞘层厚度——这些特征在GV模型中缺失——同时保持与该模型的标度律一致。该模型成功再现了关键的实验观测结果,如压缩柱的尺寸、密度比、伞状等离子体剖面以及三维受限结构,而无需依赖微观物理细节。
This paper, Part I of a series, describes a kinematic framework for the theory of a Dense Plasma Focus which is very similar to the GV model in spirit but which differs in its scope in four respects. First, the GV model derives most of its results from the mathematical properties of the solution of a certain partial differential equation derived from assumptions that apparently represent conservation of momentum but are not a rigorous application of the relevant physics. The present model is based on the scaling properties of the standard equations of motion, which lead to mathematical results identical with the GV model. Second, the GV model is purely kinematic in nature. The present model is also kinematic like the GV model but it incorporates additional insights borrowed from other physical theories, models and experiments. Third, the GV model does not take into account the experimentally observed delay between the start of current and start of plasma propagation and the existence of a nonzero thickness of the dense plasma sheath. The present model incorporates both these features in its kinematic structure. Fourth, the unlike the GV model, the present model allows considerations of some modifications of standard Mather type geometry. In addition to the current waveform, the proposed model reproduces the height and radius of the pinch column, the ratio of pinch density to fill density, the general appearance of the umbrella like plasma profile and streak picture and formation of bounded 3-dimensional plasma structures embedded within the pinch plasma without taking into account microscopic details of physical phenomena
