摘要: Initial two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic computer calculations of the formation and evolution solid-deuterium-fiber {ital Z} pinch are reported. The computations show that m}=0 instability occurs very early in discharge. behavior leads to hot spots off axis enhances fiber ablation rate. A rapid onset neutron production when has totally ablated. qualitative agreement with experimental observations at several laboratories lead a new interpretation diagnostics.
