Abstract
A theoretical model for a multicascade liner system is proposed
with a view to reduce the growth rate of Rayleigh-Taylor (R-T)
instability and to calculate the fusion parameters of a dense
θ-pinch plasma. The dynamics of such plasma has been described
using the modified snow-plow model for sinusoidal and t1/3
types of discharge current profiles. Numerical results demonstrate that
the thermonuclear fusion parameters can be achieved for a dense θ-pinch
deuterium-tritium (D-T) fiber plasma for an optimum choice of
shell thickness. The relevance of this kind of study is possible
use of gas-liner and staged pinches as an alternative source
of thermonuclear fusion.
