Numerical studies on stability and mixing in laser driven implosion

Description

A turbulent mixing model is coupled to an implosion code to study the degradation of implosion performance. It is found that by assuming that 10-20% of the implosion energy is converted to turbulence energy in the acceleration phase, the experimental data for LHART and CD shell type implosion can be well reproduced numerically. A two dimensional implosion code is used to study the fire polishing effect by alpha particle heating in high gain target. The gain sensitivity to the implosion non-uniformity has also been studied.
