Abstract :
The present paper deals with the computer simulation of nonstationary radiative plasma magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) processes in the vicinity of cathode spot by using a new mathematical code. As well as in cases of electrohydrodynamic simulation, the present results confirmed the “shooting solitons” generation from cathode plasma torch
