Virtual EventCharacterization of quasi-Keplerian, differentially rotating, free-boundary laboratory plasmas
Vincente Valenzuela-Villaseca
Imperial College, London
This talk will present results from the Rotating Plasma Experiment (RPX) developed on the MAGPIE pulsed-power generator (1.4 MA, 500 ns duration). The experimental platform drives plasma flows relevant to astrophysical accretion disks and axial jets in a free-boundary experiment. The goal is to interpret and model the rotation profile and pressure balance of differentially rotating plasmas inertially driven by the slightly off-radial inward-convergence of 8 magnetized plasma jets.
