🌀 Z-Pinch Plasma Compression (2D)

2D Canvas simulation of the Z-pinch: a current-driven plasma column compressed by its own magnetic (Lorentz J×B) force, with a live Bennett-equilibrium current-vs-radius graph, B-field and pinch-pressure readouts.

⚙ Under the hood

Drive an axial current through a plasma column and watch the magnetic Lorentz (J×B) force compress it toward a Bennett-equilibrium radius. Adjust current and temperature, trigger the pinch, and read live column radius, surface magnetic field and pinch pressure.
