Different ways to achieve the stabilization of a linear z-pinch by a superimposed shear flow are analyzed. They are: 1) Axial shear flow proposed by Arber and Howell with the pinch discharge in its ...

Researchers have simulated supercooled liquids subjected to Couette shear flow. The rapid drop in viscosity under shear was related to the liquids' two-body structural entropy. The study showed that ...

Zap Energy, the University of Washington, and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory are advancing the shear-flow stabilized Z-pinch concept and assessing its potential for scaling to fusion ...

Tokyo - Researchers at The University of Tokyo discover that the two-body structural entropy is the key quantity to understanding the dynamics of sheared supercooled liquids and also the mechanism ...
