A Fokker-Planck Code for Laser-Produced Plasmas
نویسندگان
چکیده
A Fokker-Planck code is developed based upon Epperlein’s scheme [Laser Part. Beams 12, 257 (1994)] for the investigation of laser-produced plasmas in relevance to inertial confinement fusion. The equations are integrated implicitly by the time-splitting method. The test problems are simulated to show the versatility of the code. The comparisons among our computational heat flux and the classical Spitzer-Härm (SH) transport model and non-local transport models have been presented. The result shows that the non-local model of heat flux is in reasonable agreement with the FP simulation in overdense region and invalid in the hot underdense plasmas.

Different Fokker-Planck approaches to simulate electron transport in plasmas
On the basis of our Fokker-Planck code “FPI”, a new kernel for nonlocal electron transport in plasmas has been developed. Large scale simulations of plasma macroscopic characteristics have been made by using both this Fokker-Planck and a new Hydrodynamic code using the new kernel [1]. However, these simulations were made with the approximation of spherical Rosenbluth potentials. We have now add...
متن کاملTwo-dimensional nonlocal electron transport in laser-produced plasmas.
Much effort has been devoted to the study of nonlocal electron transport in laser-produced plasmas.'J Most of the work has involved the numerical solution of the electron Fokker-Planck (FP) equation in one dimension by finite difference techniques. Comparisons with standard fluid transport calculations using Spitzer-Harm (SH)3 heat flow 2, = K ~ T has revealed the occurrence of hot-electron "pr...
متن کاملPseudo-spectral Matrix and Normalized Grunwald Approximation for Numerical Solution of Time Fractional Fokker-Planck Equation
This paper presents a new numerical method to solve time fractional Fokker-Planck equation. The space dimension is discretized to the Gauss-Lobatto points, then we apply pseudo-spectral successive integration matrix for this dimension. This approach shows that with less number of points, we can approximate the solution with more accuracy. The numerical results of the examples are displayed.
متن کاملTest of models for electron transport in laser produced plasmas
This paper examines five different models of electron thermal transport in laser produced spherical implosions. These are classical, classical with a flux limit f , delocalization, beam deposition model, and Fokker-Planck solutions. In small targets, the results are strongly dependent of f for flux limit models, with small f ’s generating very steep temperature gradients. Delocalization models ...
