Experimental Study on the Magneto-aerodynamic Force Deflected by Magnetic Field Interaction in a Weakly-ionized Plasma Flow

A detailed experimental study is made of dissipative drift modes in a weakly ionized plasma. The appearance of various modes as the plasma parameters are changed is compared with theory. A detailed study of the m = 3 mode in cylindrical geometry shows good agreement between experiment and a locally applied theoretical model. A method of dynamic stabilization using oscillating azimuthal magnetic field is studied and theory and experiment are compared for the m = 3 mode.

Good Agreement

The mechanism of anomalous plasma transport associated with dissipative drift instabilities in a weakly ionized plasma is investigated experimentally. Detailed measurements of the phase difference between electron density and potential fluctuations are presented. The results show good agreement between predicted anomalous losses associated with this phase difference and measured reductions in the plasma density. It is shown experimentally that dynamic stabilization using an oscillating azimuthal magnetic field effectively reduces the plasma losses due to the fluctuations.
