Gas Dynamics and Liquid Response in Inertial Confinement Fusion Target Chambers
Principal Investigator: Peterson
| This research studies x-ray driven ablation, blast propagation and transient condensation for removing vapor generated in inertial confinement fusion target chambers. Another component of the project studies liquid jet phenomena in vacuum environments. The work focuses both on issues important to chamber dynamics in the National Ignition Facility, and to future inertial fusion energy power plants. Research support comes from the Department of Energy Office of Fusion Energy Science. |  |
