Abstract

A magnetically accelerated low-beta plasma shell which behaves as a self-regulating structure, which adjusts its thickness to the acceleration conditions so that the magnetic flux is confined even for relatively low values of magnetic Reynolds numbers. The analytical and numerical problems addressed are highly idealized. Planar geometry and a considerably simplified physical model permitted to find exact analytical solutions of some problems under study, and allowed to use a relatively simple and robust numerical approximation technique for testing the theory.
