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…

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…
