Advanced Radiation Theory Support - Annual Report 2000

Abstract

This report describes the work of the Radiation Hydrodynamics Branch during FY 2000 in support of the DTRA PRS program. Critical issues covered are: (1) novel load designs for improving PRS loads, (2) analyzing spatially resolved line spectra emitted by Z pinches, (3) the development of multidimensional radiation transport schemes for use in multidimensional magnetohydrodynamics codes, (4) wire array dynamics and modeling, (5) hydrodynamic modeling of nested-plasma Z pinches, (6) the role of electron viscosity in plasma shock heating, and (7) improved bremsstrahlung radiation production by electrode decontamination.
