Computer simulation of energy profiles in a plasma focus device

Summary form only given, as follows. The study of the plasma focus dynamics has been treated to include the distribution profiles of kinetic energy, electrical energy and the power input in the axial and the pinch off phase. The snowplow model equations and the pinch phase equations for plasma motion in one dimension and the equation of energies have been simulated on computer. The distribution of the energies sho;v strong dependence on the ratio of the peridic time of the external circuit to the transit time of the current sheath motion in the axial phase.
