  • Abstract
    A two-dimensional numerical simulation of a planar vacuum arc has been used to determinie the effect of the self-consistent magnetic fields on the arc plasma density, temperature, and heat flow. The results are consistent with experimentally observed discharges in which a linear pinch occurs.
