Sudden viscous dissipation of compressing turbulence
arXiv:1510.08164 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.116.105004
Abstract
Compression of turbulent plasma can amplify the turbulent kinetic energy, if the compression is fast compared to the viscous dissipation time of the turbulent eddies. A sudden viscous dissipation mechanism is demonstrated, whereby this amplified turbulent kinetic energy is rapidly converted into thermal energy, suggesting a new paradigm for fast ignition inertial fusion.
