Abstract
The progress in pulsed power technique in the last decade can make the idea oftrigger the fusion reaction in the Z-pinch column. To show possibilities of burn wave propagation in this case, we used 2-D MHD code. The physical model includes: kinetics ofthermonu-clear reaction in D-T mixture, non-local deposition ofalpha particles, radiation transport and the influence ofmagnetic field on transport coefficients. We presented the results of simulation ofburn wave propagation in conical Z-pinch channel initiated fom hot, central region. These results are compared with the previous ones for the case without magnetic field.
