SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on simulating plasma density in a Z-Pinch discharge using Femlab Software 3.1i. The user seeks to determine plasma density and temperature post-compression, utilizing time-dependent current as an input parameter. They have experimented with the electromagnetics module, applying meridional currents and magnetic fields, alongside the compressible Euler equations. This approach is confirmed as appropriate for solving time-dependent density in the context of Z-Pinch simulations.

HI and Hello,

i would like to simulate a plasma discharge (z-Pinch discharge) with the Femlab Software 3.1i. The resulsts should be the density of the plasma or the temperautre after a compression. As input parameter serves the measured time dependent current. I have tried the electromagnetics module with meridional currents, magentic field and for the compression with the volume force (Currentdensity * magn. Fluxdensity Phi component) the compressible euler. Is this the right way to solve for the time dependet density ? Please help me ;:) :cry: :confused:
