Lateral interaction between two geometrically modified plasma plumes in the presence of a transverse magnetic field has been investigated. Characteristic behavior of both seed plumes and the interaction region in the presence of the field is compared with those for the field free case. Contrary to the field free case, no sharp interaction zone is observed; rather large enhancement in emission intensities in both seed and interaction regions is observed in the case of a magnetic field. The observed results are explained on the basis of atomic analysis of the spectral lines from the interaction region of the interacting plumes. The physical processes responsible for higher electron temperature and increased ionic line emission from singly as well as doubly ionized aluminum are briefly discussed.

磁场对等离子体羽流横向相互作用的影响

已经研究了存在横向磁场的两个几何修改等离子体羽流之间的横向相互作用。将存在田地时种子羽流和相互作用区域的特征行为与无田地情况下的特征行为进行比较。与无场情况相反，没有观察到明显的相互作用区；在磁场的情况下，观察到种子和相互作用区域中发射强度的相当大的增强。观察到的结果是在对相互作用羽流相互作用区域谱线的原子分析的基础上进行解释的。简要讨论了导致单电离铝和双电离铝的电子温度升高和离子线发射增加的物理过程。
