Advanced Radiation Theory, Support Annual Report 1998

Abstract

This report describes the work of the Radiation Hydrodynamics Branch during FY 98 in support of the DTRA PRS program. Critical issues covered are: (1) Large initial radius Z-pinch load behavior on Saturn, Double Eagle, DECADE QUAD, and Z pulsed power machines, (2) Analyzing temperature and density radial temperature gradients in Z-pinch plasmas, (3) Analysis of time resolved and time integrated Z-pinch data, (4) Spectroscopic PRS analysis, (5) Radiation magnetohydrodynamic code development and assessment, (6) Analysis of nested wire array loads, and (7) Basic tradeoffs of L-shell versus K-shell radiators.
