Abstract

The numerical solution of an unsteady-state three-dimensional set of equations of radiation gas dynamics is used to investigate the process of formation of a current layer in an MGD channel. It is found that the structure of current layer and the integral characteristics of interaction at low and high pressures are different because of the different patterns of radiation (volume and surface, respectively). The processes of flow past the discharge region and the division of this region into several current-conducting channels because of the development of Rayleigh-Taylor instability result in a decrease in the efficiency of MGD interaction.
