Abstract
In this contribution, we present a plasma physical model of a pulsed capillary discharge
with a modulated radius. Using a 2D time-dependent model, we have modeled the plasma
and wall properties of this channel. It was found that properties of the central plasma are
different than the properties of a straight channel, while the properties depend only very
weakly on the axial position. The behavior of the plasma near the wall and the wall itself
was strongly influenced by the radial modulation, which leads to a very uneven thermal wall
load. This is expected to cause significant damage to the wall material in a practical device.
