Simulation of High-Current Intersecting PlasmaBeams by MHD and Monte Carlo Methods

摘要

This paper deals with the 3D time-dependent intersecting plasma beams model using Magnetohydrodynamics and Monte Carlo methods under the conditions of high pressures (from 0.01 MPa up to 0.1 MPa) and high current (100 kA). After the detailed presentation of model, two methods have been fully analyzed in terms of intersecting plasma beams properties in the focal region. Here, we have compared the results of MHD time-dependent numerical simulation with MC stochastic and statistical particles simulation. Through success of these comparisons, we have demonstrated that MHD and MC methods provide practical tools to capture essential physics of intersecting plasma beams.
