An electrodynamic model has been formulated describing induction discharge in pulsed plasmatron in terms of induced current density in a plasma clot under the action of pulsed magnetic field. Numerical calculations have been performed using a plasma model in the form of a cylinder, demonstrating the process of current layer formation in plasma. The aim of the work is to numerically study the dynamics of density distribution of induced current in a plasma clot located in a magnetic field with rapid decline of this field.
Key words: : pulsed plasmatron, plasma clot, pulsed magnetic field, induction discharge, current layer.
