| Abstract | Summary form only given. Applying a magnetic field of several megagauss to a surface drives an interesting interplay of magnetic diffusion, hydrodynamics, and radiative energy transfer. This physics is important in wire-array Z-pinches, high current fuses, magnetically insulated transmission lines, ultrahigh magnetic field generators, magnetized target fusion, and astrophysics. To investigate such plasmas experimentally, 1 MA was driven through a 1 -mm-diameter cylindrical aluminum rod, using the UNR Zebra generator. The 70-ns current rise was sufficiently short that the current skin depth was a small fraction of the conductor radius. Diagnostics included optical imaging to a time-gated intensified CCD camera and a streak camera, magnetic field probes, photodiodes, photomultipliers, and laser shadowgraphy, schlieren, interferometry, and Faraday rotation. These yielded information on the threshold for plasma formation, the expansion of the aluminum, the temperature at the transition between optically thick and optically thin matter, and the growth of the unstable m=0 mode driven by the curvature of the magnetic field. Plasma formation due to ohmic heating was distinguished from plasma formation due to high electric fields or electrical contacts by comparing shots with wire loads vs. loads machined from a solid aluminum cylinder to have a 1-mm-diameter central length but large-diameter contacts. Time-gated images show markedly more uniform light from the machined load than from the wire load. The relatively simple experimental setup was chosen in the hope of providing a benchmark with which to test and improve radiation-magnetohydrodynamics modeling. Measurements have been compared with the results of RAVEN and MHRDR computer simulations, using various assumptions for equation of state, electrical conductivity, and radiation. The simulations yield observed quantities such as luminosity, laser shadowgraphs, and m=0 mode growth. They also yield many additional interesting details, such as the propagation of a compression wave from the surface to the axis and back, with a resultant rapid radial expansion of the surface after peak current. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
