DYnamics of turbuleNt plasmAs & Magnetic inductiOn
An innovative experimental plasma device
Our investigations will be driven by an innovative low-pressure, high-density plasma device, described in details in section Experiments. The experimental apparatus is located at Laboratoire de Physique, Ecole Normale Supérieure de Lyon
Description of the experimental setup
A linear plasma device is currently under operation, in which flow driving mechanisms are currently under tests.
In mid-views term, flows will be driven by both ends, in a similar ways as in von-Karman flows (see for instance the MHD features of von-Karman flows in liquid sodium, where dynamo action has been observed in the VKS dynamo
