介绍了PTS装置丝阵负载设计思路,用简化的薄壳模型(零维)和辐射磁流体力学模型(一维)数值模拟了丝阵Z箍缩内爆过程,给出了PTS丝阵负载设计参数,分析了初步优化结果,确定了优化选择的箍缩常数.经脉冲功率驱动器与负载优化匹配设计,PTS实验平台能够获得100TW量级的X射线功率,最佳插头能量转换效率10%.预计PTS实验平台的X射线输出能力基本达到Saturn装置长脉冲模式放电的水平.结果将为PTS开展Z箍缩研究提供有价值的参考.
In this paper, a method for designing and optimizing the wire-array loads used on the PTS facility is presented. Both ZP-0D code (shell model) and MARED-1D code (MHD model) are used for the simulation. By comparing results from each code,the characteristics of the Z-pinch implosion plasma driven by the PTS facility are investigated, and the load parameters are optimized. It is found that, a 15 nH concentrator inductance is efficient for PTS facility to work at load currents up to 10 MA. And an optimized tungsten wire-array load is able to produce an X-ray radiation with peak power up to 100 TW and a highest efficiency of conversion for the wall-plug power of about 10% . By further investigation and comparison with experimental data, we suppose that the PTS facility will have similar X-ray radiation productivity as the Saturn facility operating in the long-pulse mode.
