This theory is updated significantly by Sasorov, Oliver, Yu and Mehlhorn. However the publication has been not finished yet. Hence I will review only old results in this field and be as brief as possible.

Motivations
the effect of plasma rainstorm at the final stage of implosion are responsible for very high parameters of x-ray pulse obtained with the multiwire arrays.
High quality of plasma compression and hence short duration of the x-ray pulse occur when there is a matching between the time of plasma formation from relatively cold remnants of the initial explosion of the wires and the time of compression of the array with matched mass. This statement was considered theoretically (Alexandrov et al. Plasma Phys. Reps. (2001)) and is obtained experimentally (Cuneo et al. PRE (2005)).
Plasma ablation rate depends on interwire gap (S. Lebedev et al. Nucl. Fusion (2004)) There is an optimal number of wires for good X-ray pulse (Mazarakis et al. (2003))
There is an optimum ratio of ablation time to time of stagnation. Cuneo et al. (2005):

Motivations
Hence it is important now to have theoretical estimation of plasma ablation rate dependent on all main parameters of multiwire array and its initiation (on I, R0, N, )
The next problem: How do flows from outer and inner arrays of nested array interact with each other?

2d Problem
The previous 1d theory does not contain any parameters of array, whereas present experiments show unambiguously dependence on interwire gap and condition of wire initiation. 2d theory Main assumptions:

Periodic structure of wire array Slab geometry All spatial scales of the problem are much smaller than interwire gap

Conclusions
The case, when the interwire gap is much larger than width of the jets, differs from the 1d case: Only small part of total current flows in the region, where Ohmic heating and transport of the heat toward cold products of initial explosion of wires play significant role. It leads to suppression of the plasma production rate, which becomes now dependent on d/ also. Dependence on d, that is diameter of cold products of initial explosion of wires, means that the ablation rate as well as global dynamics of multiwire arrays depend on subtle details of wire initiation.

Conclusions
Two quite different types of plasma flows interactions may occur in nested multiwire array. This fact was established both theoretically and experimentally.
The first type: the flow between the arrays is superalvenic, and existence of inner array does not influence at all on dynamics of plasma between arrays.
The second type: The flow between the arrays is subalvenic Dynamics of plasma originating from the outer array is determined significantly by existence and parameters of the inner array Main part of the total current flows around initial position of the inner array
What type of possible regimes will take place depends on ratio of radiuses of the arrays r2/r1 and on ratio of ablation rates from the arrays.
Conclusions
The case, when the interwire gap is much larger than width of the jets, differs from the 1d case: Only small part of total current flows in the region, where Ohmic heating and transport of the heat toward cold products of initial explosion of wires play significant role. It leads to suppression of the plasma production rate, which becomes now dependent on d/ also. Dependence on d, that is diameter of cold products of initial explosion of wires, means that the ablation rate as well as global dynamics of multiwire arrays depend on subtle details of wire initiation.
