(Received 22 March 1988; accepted 30 August 1988)

New self‐similar solutions describe the subsonic compression of a plasma with an entrained axial magnetic field by a thin cylindrical liner. Effects of Ohmic dissipation, thermal conductivity, and plasma turbulence are included. The self‐similar solutions, obtained in an explicit analytic form, demonstrate that magnetic flux can be compressed by an externally driven annular plasma shell with small losses.
