Yp. Zakharov et al., Plasma confinement and direct energy conversion of ICF-microexplosion in open magnetic system., FUSION TECH, 35(1T), 1999, pp. 283-287
The processes of the direct energy conversions of the ICF-microexplosion in
magnetic fields are discussed and investigated by both the methods of thei
r simulations in the experiments with usual Laser-Produced Plasma Clouds an
d via their numerical PIG-modelling in 3D-schemes. The problems of addition
al energy losses of exploding plasmas which could prevent to achieve more t
han 50% efficiency of such electrical conversion in uniform magnetic field
are studied by comparison of experimental and numerical data. The opportuni
ties of such common approach to simulation future NIF experiment with dipol
e field's thrust are shown.
