“…Electric explosion of wires is one of the applications of non-ideal (strongly coupled) plasma [1,2,3,4,5,6] and on the other hand is an important means of nonideal plasma generation [7,8,9]. Nowadays timescales of electric explosion of metal wires cover the region from micro-to nanoseconds.…”

The conception is developed which distinguishes initial stages of the fast (nanosecond) electric explosion of wires: the superheating of the solid conductor, its spontaneous (spinodal) decay and the successive formation of the nonideal plasma column. The molecular dynamics simulation approach is used to simulate homogeneous nucleation at a constant heating rate. The subsequent evolution of the fluid column and the axial plasma uniformity are considered. The results are compared with the experimental data on nanosecond wire explosions.
