Advanced Radiation Theory Support Annual Report 2002, Final Report

Abstract

This report describes the work of the Radiation Hydrodynamics Branch during FY 2002 in support of the DTRA PRS Program Critical issues covered are: (1) side-on and end-on x-ray imaging of wire and gas puff implosions, (2) multi-group radiative diffusion, (3) discussions of radiation transport that includes pitfalls inherent to radiation modeling of Z-pinch plasmas, (4) K-shell yield performance assessment of argon loads on DTRA machines, (5) Z-pinch-driven direct drive inertial confinement fusion, (6) Z-scaled K-shell dielectronic recombination rate coefficients, (7) modeling enhanced energy coupling in Z-pinch plasmas, (8) incompressible fluid model for wire array implosions, and (9) increasing K-shell yields by using a low-z gas in the outer shell of a double-puff nozzle.
