✦ Synopsis

Discharge of the capacitor bank between two coaxial electrodes creates a plasma sheath which is then accelerated and compressed. The magnetohydrodynamic equations are solved using an explicit numerical scheme together with the electrical circuit equations. For calculation in a two-dimensional region we have used an ideal one-temperature magnetohydrodynamic plasma description. The set of hyperbolic-type partial differential equations has been solved by a two-step Lax-Wendroff scheme and for shock treatment an artifical viscosity has been added. Preliminary results of the test run are presented.

The existing descriptions of the plasma spreading in a coaxial accelerator are based on the snow plough model. This model is not suitable for describing the behaviour of impulse plasma during the IPD synthesis of materials. It has been found that, in this process, caused by the quasi-stationary mode
