Calculations of Concentric Cylindrical Foil Liner Implosions to Produce Collapsing Radiation Cavities.
Abstract
This report presents the concept and results of calculations of the use of colliding concentric cylindrical foil liners to produce collapsing radiation cavities. The concept is to use a magnetic pressure driven foil plasma liner to implode on a second interior liner at several tens of centimeters per microsecond. The outer liner collision with the inner liner converts the implosion kinetic energy to thermal energy, with temperatures of 100 to 200 electron volts possible. The calculations were done with a dimensional Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) code and multigroup radiation treatment.
