Kholin Voitenko's classical compressor [1] is widely used as a simple and effective tool for preparing high-density plasma jets. The processes occurring in the chamber cavity (Fig. 1) up to the moment of collapse on the axis of the apparatus consists of a direct shock wave (SW) SS and a zone of non-one-dimensional flow of the shock-compressed gas OAS, formed by a plate, the chamber wall, and the converging shock wave AS. The system of waves in the zone OAS is unstable due to the increasing mass velocity of the gas at the point O and irregular interaction of the waves with the walls. Placement of strips of explosive inside the chamber enables increasing significantly the density of the plasma formed while maintaining at the same time the velocity without any need for a system for filling the compressor chamber with gas [2]. The working gas -- products of detonation of the explosive -- is formed in the chamber directly during the operation of the apparatus due to initiation of the explosive TI - Method for obtaining high-density plasma JF - Combustion, Explosion, and Shock Waves DO - 10.1007/BF00786867 DA - 2004-11-26 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/springer-journals/method-for-obtaining-high-density-plasma-7Baudp59dY SP - 774 EP - 775 VL - 29 IS - 6 DP - DeepDyve ER -
