Two-dimensional, Hydrodynamic Modeling of Electrothermal Plasma Discharges

A two-dimensional, time-dependent model and code have been developed to model electrothermal (ET) plasma discharges. ET plasma discharges are capillary discharges that draw tens of kA of electric current. The current heats the plasma, and the plasma radiates energy to the capillary walls. The cap...
