Abstract: We propose a new experimental approach to laboratory investigations of the interaction of supersonic (ionic Mach number up to 2.7) high-density (up to 10$^{15}$ cm$^{-3}$) plasma flows and inhomogeneous magnetic field (up to 3.3 T in magnetic mirrors of arched magnetic trap). This approach offers wide possibilities for modeling processes taking place in both near-Earth and space plasma.
