Abstract

Time dependences of integral characteristics of a discharge are modeled — plasma current, inductor current, and currents in the control windings in the presence of a ferromagnet. The effect of the iron core is allowed for by introducing nonlinear mutual inductances in the system of electrical-engineering equations. The system is solved numerically. Some discharge scenarios for the T-15 device are calculated.
