Advanced Concepts Theory Annual Report 1993

Abstract

This report details the work of the Radiation Hydrodynamics Branch conducted in FY93 with respect to several critical problems concerning the design and analysis of DECADE z-pinch experiments. Separate sections describe progress in: (1) the evaluation of DECADE's predicted PRS performance, (2) the analysis and scaling of z-pinch experiments using phenomenological turbulence transport parameters in 1-D calculations, (3) the analysis of gas puff nozzle designs and large radius implosion stability, (4) the development of a DECADE transmission line model to study power flow, POS/PRS interactions, and energy coupling to PRS loads in DECADE, (5) the development of diagnostics with which to analyze experimental and theoretical PRS data, and (6) the development of L- shell atomic models. Z-pinch physics, Plasma radiation sources, Radiation MHD.
