We conducted a comprehensive statistical analysis of the breakdown-voltage variations in helium near its critical point (5.2 K) using Weibull distribution analysis and Shannon entropy evaluation. Through detailed measurements at temperatures ranging from 5.1 to 5.5 K and densities from 5 to 115kg/m3…

We present a class of self-similar solutions describing ultrahigh compression of a uniform-density target by spherically converging, stacked shock waves. Extending the classical Guderley model, we derive a scaling law for the final density of the form ρr/ρ0∝P̂β(N−1), where N is the number of shocks,…

Understanding the behavior of differentially rotating plasmas is important for the study of turbulence and transport in systems such as accretion disks and stellar interiors, as well as in laboratory experiments. The authors use various techniques to analyze the stability of these systems, in particular focusing on the competition between the magneto-rotational instability and the magneto-curvature instability.
