Description

Based on many direct numerical simulations of the development of hydrodynamic instabilities upon compression of laser thermonuclear targets, an efficient model is developed for describing the width of the mixing region taking into account the influence of the initial conditions on the mixing process dynamics. Approaches are proposed which are based on the evolution theory of the development of hydrodynamic instabilities [1], which was specially elaborated to describe the compression of targets for inertial thermonuclear fusion.
