Advanced Concepts Theory Annual Report, 1991

Abstract

This report details the work of the Radiation Hydrodynamics Branch conducted in FY 91 with respect to several critical problems concerning the analysis and interpretation of z-pinch experiments, the dynamics of z-pinch implosions, and the optimization of their radiative output. Separate sections describe progress in the analysis of z-pinch experiments using phenomenological turbulence transport parameters, the development of a microturbulence analysis from which to calculate turbulence enhanced transport coefficients, the development of L-shell atomic models, the analysis of PRS argon experiments, and the development of a transmission line model with which to study power flow in IES machines, POS/PRS interactions, and energy coupling to PRS loads.
