Short-scale mixing of the plasma and magnetic field, and magnetic flux ropes in plasma focus experiments

Experimental results are presented for the formation of complicated 3D structures, both disordered and ordered ones, in plasma focus gaseous discharges. This includes (i) intense short-scale mixing of the plasma and magnetic field, and (ii) cell-like structures built of plasma filaments and magnetic flux ropes, in particular, a heterogeneous magnetic flux rope.
