Abstract

Summary form only given. Plasma expansion due to laser irradiation in a target has been studied, using the MAG code. Special attention has been paid to the spontaneously generated magnetic field effect on the laser induced plasma jet dynamics. The 2D MAG code was used for this numerical modeling. The magnetized transport coefficients were taken from the Braginskii model. The ideal gas equation of state and the bremsstrahlung radiation losses were taken into account.
