Stability of a shock-decelerated ablation front.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Experimental study of a shock-decelerated ablation front is reported. A planar solid plastic target is accelerated by a laser across a vacuum gap and collides with a lower-density plastic foam layer. While the target is accelerated, a fast Rayleigh-Taylor (RT) growth of the seeded single-mode perturbation at the ablation front is observed. After the collision, the velocity of the ablation front is seen to remain constant. The reshock quenches the RT growth but does not trigger any Richtmyer-Meshkov growth at the ablation front, which is shown to be consistent with both theory and simulations.

LLE Review, Volume 104 178 Introduction Direct-drive inertial confinement fusion (ICF) targets use temporally shaped drive pulses to optimize the target performance while controlling the Rayleigh–Taylor instability.1–3 The portion of the pulse preceding the main compression drive is used to create shocks that modify the target adiabat and thereby determine the compressibility and stability of t...
متن کاملThe Effect of a 6-Week Core Stability Training Program on the Stroke Index and Front Crawl Record of Male Swimmers
Objective For optimal performance of swimmers, it is necessary to determine a level for the functional interaction of upper and lower limbs. This level, created by more than 20 pairs of muscles, is the core of the body. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of six weeks of core stability exercise on the stroke index and front crawl record of male swimmers. Methods In this quasi-...

In this article, the stress-time or speed-time relation for a steady intense shock wave front and effective parameters on it in solid metals (except alkaline metals) were studied. First, the parameters relevant to the deformation of a pure material were identified and a relation between them was found. Then with simplifying assumptions, a stress change equation was obtained. Afterwards, the mod...

A high-order shock-fitting method with thermochemcial nonequilibrium and finite rate boundary conditions for graphite ablation is presented. The method is suitable for direct numerical simulation of boundary layer stability with graphite ablation. Validation with three computational data sets and one set of experimental data is shown. Stability results of the method for a 7 half angle blunt con...
متن کاملTheory of the Ablative Richtmyer–Meshkov Instability
30 LLE Review, Volume 77 In inertial confinement fusion (ICF) implosions, a laser irradiation induces a shock wave propagating through the target. During the shock transit time, the ablation front travels at a constant velocity, and any surface perturbations could grow due to the Richtmyer-Meshkov (RM)–like instability.1–5 Later, when a rarefaction wave reaches the ablation surface, the acceler...
