Abstract
The paper is devoted to the study of the plasma flows generated in the plasma focus discharge at the PF-3 facility at its propagation in the ambient medium up to distances of ~100 cm and, in particular, the study of the dynamics of such important parameters as velocity, total energy, and momentum. Momentum and energy measurements were made using a ballistic pendulum, which could be used simultaneously in the calorimeter mode. Optical collimators are used to measure the flow velocity. It is shown that, in experiments with argon at a distance of 65 cm, the energy density of the incident flow of ≥10 J/cm2 is observed. The total number of particles in the flow and the total mass of the flow are calculated.
