Dynamics of a toroidal plasma cluster and its interaction with an obstacle. Dynamics of a toroidal plasma cluster in vacuum

A physical-and-mathematical model of the motion of a plasma cluster to a target is suggested. Results are obtained which enable one to judge the degree of variation of the cluster parameters during its motion from the generator to the target. As a result of these investigations, one can correctly pre assign the initial conditions when solving the problem on the reflection of a plasma cluster from an obstacle.
