Mega-Gauss Plasma Jet Creation Using a Ring of Laser Beams
L. Gao, E. Liang, Y. Lu +11
Using 20 OMEGA laser beams at the Laboratory for Laser Energetics, University of Rochester, to irradiate a flat plastic target in a hollow ring configuration, we created supersonic…
Strong suppression of heat conduction in a laboratory replica of galaxy-cluster turbulent plasmas
J. Meinecke, P. Tzeferacos, J. S. Ross +32
Galaxy clusters are filled with hot, diffuse X-ray emitting plasma, with a stochastically tangled magnetic field whose energy is close to equipartition with the energy of the turbu…
Fermi-type particle acceleration from magnetic reconnection at the termination shock of a relativistic striped wind
Yingchao Lu, Fan Guo, Patrick Kilian +3
An oblique-rotating pulsar generates a relativistic striped wind in a pulsar wind nebula (PWN). The termination shock of the PWN compresses the Poynting-flux-dominated flow and dri…
Studying particle acceleration from driven magnetic reconnection at the termination shock of a relativistic striped wind using particle-in-cell simulations
Yingchao Lu, Fan Guo, Patrick Kilian +3
A rotating pulsar creates a surrounding pulsar wind nebula (PWN) by steadily releasing an energetic wind into the interior of the expanding shockwave of supernova remnant or inters…
Modeling hydrodynamics, magnetic fields and synthetic radiographs for high-energy-density plasma flows in shock-shear targets
Yingchao Lu, Shengtai Li, Hui Li +11
Three-dimensional FLASH radiation-magnetohydrodynamics (radiation-MHD) modeling is carried out to study the hydrodynamics and magnetic fields in the shock-shear derived platform. S…
MPRAD: A Monte Carlo and ray-tracing code for the proton radiography in high-energy-density plasma experiments
Yingchao Lu, Hui Li, Kirk A. Flippo +4
Proton radiography is used in various high-energy-density (HED) plasma experiments. In this paper, we describe a Monte Carlo and ray-tracing simulation tool called MPRAD that can b…
Time-step dependent force interpolation scheme for suppressing numerical Cherenkov instability in relativistic particle-in-cell simulations
Yingchao Lu, Patrick Kilian, Fan Guo +2
The WT scheme, a piecewise polynomial force interpolation scheme with time-step dependency, is proposed in this paper for relativistic particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations. The WT sc…
Kinetic simulations of fusion ignition with hot-spot ablator mix
James D. Sadler, Yingchao Lu, Benjamin Spiers +9
Inertial confinement fusion fuel suffers increased X-ray radiation losses when carbon from the capsule ablator mixes into the hot-spot. Here we present one and two-dimensional ion…
An \mathcal{O}(N) Maxwell solver with improved numerical dispersion properties
Yingchao Lu, Chengkun Huang, Patrick Kilian +3
A Maxwell solver derived from finite element method with \mathcal{O}(N) computing cost is developed to improve the numerical dispersion properties in relativistic particle-in-cell…
Numerical Simulation of magnetized jet creation using a hollow ring of laser beams
Y. Lu, P. Tzeferacos, E. Liang +11
Three dimensional FLASH magneto-hydrodynamics(MHD) modeling is carried out to interpret the OMEGA laser experiments of strongly magnetized, highly collimated jets driven by a ring…
