UWFDM-1081 Time-Dependent Radiation Transport in Hohlraums Using Integral Transport Methods
نویسندگان
چکیده
Integral Transport methods were used to calculate the x-ray intensity in a NOVA hohlraum. Two cases were examined: the nominal case in which all five lasers strike either side of the hohlraum and the abnormal case for which five lasers strike the right side but only four strike the left. As expected, the uniform case produces a fairly uniform illumination over the capsule, whereas the abnormal case is highly non-uniform.

UWFDM-1117 Neutral Particle Integral Transport in Inertial Confinement Fusion Systems Using Time Dependent Integral Transport Methods (Ph.D. thesis)
Time-dependent radiative transport is important in inertial confinement of fusion targets. The target must be illuminated with as symmetric a source as possible to ensure an isentropic compression. Once the fusion event begins, energy is taken away from the burn via radiation transport. This process represents a large percentage of the total energy loss. Similarly, neutron transport is importan...

The radiation transport equation is solved using the Sn method on an adaptive mesh. The solution is performed in parallel on a network of workstations, communicating with each other using message passing. Analytical speedup estimates are formulated for the calculations and compared with measured speedups. Speedups of 1.83 and 2.97 are achieved on two and four processors, respectively. Finally, ...
متن کاملProgress towards a more predictive model for hohlraum radiation drive and symmetry
For several years, we have been calculating the radiation drive in laser-heated gold hohlraums using flux-limited heat transport with a limiter of 0.15, tabulated values of local thermodynamic equilibrium gold opacity, and an approximate model for not in a local thermodynamic equilibrium (NLTE) gold emissivity (DCA_2010). This model has been successful in predicting the radiation drive in vacuu...
متن کاملField Dependent Charge Carrier Transport for Organic Semiconductors at the Time of Flight Configuration
In this paper, we used the time-of-flight (TOF) of a charge packet, that injected by a voltage pulse to calculate the drift velocity and mobility of holes in organic semiconducting polymers. The technique consists in applying a voltage to the anode and calculating the time delay in the appearance of the injected carriers at the other contact. The method is a simple way to determine the charge t...

Interaction and correlation effects in quantum dots play a fundamental role in defining both their equilibrium and transport properties. Numerical methods are commonly employed to study such systems. In this paper we investigate the numerical calculation of quantum transport of electrons in spherical centered defect InGaAs/AlGaAs quantum dot (SCDQD). The simulation is based on the imaginary time...
