Abstract

An analytic model of steady-state two-dimensional flows in coaxial plasma-accelerator channels in the presence of a longitudinal magnetic field is proposed. The solution of the problem is found in the smooth channel approximation for the MHD equations of an ideal two-component plasma. An example of the developing axisymmetric flows is given and the features of the plasma-dynamic processes are investigated. It is found that the Hall effect and the anode flow zone can be reduced using a longitudinal field and plasma rotation.
