Plasma-jet-driven magneto-inertial fusion (PJMIF) is the only embodiment of magneto- inertial fusion that has the unique combination of stand-off implosion and high implosion …
Collisional plasma shocks generated from supersonic flows are an important feature in many astrophysical and laboratory high-energy-density plasmas. Compared to single-ion …

We present a simple method to incorporate nonlocal effects on the Nernst advection of magnetic fields down steep temperature gradients, and demonstrate its effectiveness in a …
We identify the desired characteristics and parameters of a β> 1 β> 1 magnetized plasma, possibly with highly tangled, open field lines, that could be a suitable target to be …
We present time-resolved measurements of ion heating due to collisional plasma shocks and interpenetrating supersonic plasma flows, which are formed by the oblique merging of …

Three-dimensional (3D) modeling of magneto-inertial fusion (MIF) is at a nascent stage of development. A suite of test cases relevant to plasma liner formation and implosion is …
We observe shock-front separation and species-dependent shock widths in multi-ion- species collisional plasma shocks, which are produced by obliquely merging plasma jets of …
