Diffusion model for fast alpha-particle transport in Magneto-Inertial Fusion plasmas
Alexander Velikovich, Fernando García-Rubio, Scott Davidson +3
A diffusion model is developed to describe fast alpha-particle transport and confinement in dense magnetized DT fusion plasmas, tailored to Magneto-Inertial Fusion conditions. The…
Development of Anisotropic Magnetized Viscosity for Magnetized Liner Inertial Fusion Simulations in FLASH
Ashwyn Sam, Fernando Garcia-Rubio, Scott Davidson +7
Magnetized liner inertial fusion (MagLIF) operates in a regime where anisotropic transport phenomena fundamentally influence implosion dynamics. In strongly magnetized plasmas, the…
Analysis of Preheat Propagation in MagLIF-like Plasmas
Fernando Garcia-Rubio, Scott Davidson, C. Leland Ellison +6
The preheating and pre-magnetization of fusion fuel are key features in Magnetized Liner Inertial Fusion (MagLIF) configurations. Typically, the energy of the preheat laser is depo…
Collisionless ion-electron energy exchange in magnetized shocks
Y. Zhang, P. V. Heuer, H. Wen +7
Energy partition between ions and electrons in collisionless shocks has long been an unsolved fundamental physical problem. We show that kinetic simulations of moderate Alfvénic Ma…
Validation of FLASH for magnetically driven inertial confinement fusion target design
C. Leland Ellison, Jonathan Carroll-Nellenback, Chiatai Chen +20
FLASH is a widely available radiation magnetohydrodynamics code used for astrophysics, laboratory plasma science, high energy density physics, and inertial confinement fusion. Incr…
Affordable, manageable, practical, and scalable (AMPS) high-yield and high-gain inertial fusion
Andrew Alexander, Laura Robin Benedetti, Indrani Bhattacharyya +63
High-yield inertial fusion offers a transformative path to affordable clean firm power and advanced defense capabilities. Recent milestones at large facilities, particularly the Na…
Shock Wave Formation in Radiative Plasmas
F. Garcia-Rubio, V. Tranchant, E. C. Hansen +6
The temporal evolution of weak shocks in radiative media is theoretically investigated in this work. The structure of radiative shocks has traditionally been studied in a stationar…
Feasibility and Performance of the Staged Z-Pinch: A One-dimensional Study with FLASH and MACH2
Edward C. Hansen, Fernando Garcia-Rubio, Marissa B. P. Adams +8
Z-pinch platforms constitute a promising pathway to fusion energy research. Here, we present a one-dimensional numerical study of the staged Z-pinch (SZP) concept using the FLASH a…
Diagnosing Magnetic Fields in Cylindrical Implosions with Oblique Proton Radiography
P. V. Heuer, L. S. Leal, J. R. Davies +8
Two experiments on the OMEGA Laser System used oblique proton radiography to measure magnetic fields in cylindrical implosions with and without an applied axial magnetic field. Alt…
Mass diffusion and liner material effect in a MagLIF fusion-like plasma
F. García-Rubio, J. Sanz
In this paper, liner - fuel mass diffusion and the effect of the liner material on mass ablation, energy and magnetic flux losses are studied in a MagLIF fusion-like plasma. The an…
