Advanced Radiation Theory Support, Annual Report 1999

Abstract

This program describes the work of the Radiation Hydrodynamics Branch during FY 99 in support of the DTRA PRS program. Critical issues covered are: (1) Theory and modeling of enhanced energy dissipation in Z-pinch plasmas, (2) Experimentally and theoretically comparing uniform fill versus annular shell gas puff behavior of a series of Ar:Ne mixture experiments on Saturn, (3) Large initial radius Z-pinch load behavior on Saturn, Double Eagle, and Decade Quad pulsed power machines, (4) Novel approaches for producing 10 keV photons from long pulse machines, and (5) Kinetic energy and viscous dissipation in moderate atomic number plasmas.
