Theoretical analysis of some contemporary issues on wire-array Z-pinch

This thesis describes two contemporary issues on wire-array Z-pinch: (1) Linear and nonlinear evolution of azimuthal clumping instabilities, and (2) the problem of electrical contact resistance. The thesis presents an analytic theory on the linear and nonlinear evolution of the most unstable azimuth...
