Two-dimensional implosion of a liner onto a spherical hohlraum
説明
Summary form only given. A two-dimensional implosion of liners is studied. This is instead of the conventional one-dimensional cylindrical implosion of Z pinches where a wire array or a gas-puff liner, which has a cylindrical shape and an uniform mass distribution along the z-axis. Two-dimensional Z-pinch compression can be realized utilizing either a spherically shaped wire array or a double gas-puff single-shell liner with a special mass distribution along the z-axis. The results obtained from computer simulations show that both kinds of liners can be compressed in both the z and the r directions. This leads to a uniform and a high-power heating of the spherical dynamic hohlraum placed inside the liner. The spherical, two-dimensional liner implosion increases the power density at the hohlraum surface, improves the symmetry of the capsule irradiation and helps partially in quenching of the Rayleigh-Taylor instability.
