Experimental Study of the Effect of a Magnetic Field on the Plasma Parameters in a Miniature Coaxial Electro Discharge Switch
Researches of plasma flows which are formed in the discharger prototype, in the conditions of influence of external inhomogeneous magnetic field, directed to study of the mechanism and extent of impact of inhomogeneous magnetic field on parameters of plasma and to physical processes in a miniature spark switch. Availability of external inhomogeneous coaxial magnetic field leads to forming of the plasma flow directed along the axis changing course of erosive processes that as it was shown earlier, has significant effect on the discharger resource. Influence of external inhomogeneous coaxial magnetic field increases as mean energy of electrons on leading edge of the corpuscular flow extending in the axial direction and temperature of electrons in plasma on back edge of the corpuscular flow that it is possible to explain with the electrons magnetization.
