Abstract :
In recent years, it has become clear that MHD processes dominate the conduction phase of microsecond plasma opening switches such as HA WK and ACE-4. A useful tool for analyzing this phase is the 2-D snowplow model. The model provides an efficient way to predict the thinning of density line-integrals observed in experiments.
