Description

To increase the conversion efficiency of magnetic energy to radiation in Double Liner/Dynamic-Hohlraum and to approach closer to the ignition conditions we proposed the concept of implosion of a quasi-spherical double liner. The almost spherical implosion can be realized with a special mass distribution in liners. Axial cumulating of liner kinetic energy and more efficient radiation energy confinement allow augmentation of radiation intensity on the capsule with respect to cylindrical case under the same driver conditions. A controllable mass redistribution inside the nested external liner allows significant reduction and correction of distortions produced by the Rayleigh-Taylor instability. A phenomenon of energy confinement and enhancement of radiation intensity is considered and compared with the cylindrical case. On the basis of the developed physical model of non-LTE plasma using the RMHD code ZETA the dynamics of quasi-spherical Double Liner/Dynamic-Hohlraum and generation of radiation in two-dimensional geometry is examined and liner configuration is optimized
