Atomic Modeling of Photoionization Fronts in Nitrogen Gas
William J. Gray, P. A. Keiter, H. Lefevre +5
Photoionization fronts play a dominant role in many astrophysical environments, but remain difficult to achieve in a laboratory experiment. Recent papers have suggested that experi…
Laboratory Photoionization Fronts in Nitrogen Gas: A Numerical Feasibility and Parameter Study
William J Gray, P. A. Keiter, H. Lefevre +5
Photoionization fronts play a dominant role in many astrophysical situations, but remain difficult to achieve in a laboratory experiment. We present the results from a computationa…
Prospects of Turbulence Studies in High-Energy Density Laser-Generated Plasma: Numerical Investigations in Two Dimensions
Timothy Handy, Tomasz Plewa, R. Paul Drake +1
We investigate the possibility of generating and studying turbulence in plasma by means of high-energy density laser-driven experiments. Our focus is to create supersonic, self-mag…
Observation of magnetic field generation via the Weibel instability in interpenetrating plasma flows
C. M. Huntington, F. Fiuza, J. S. Ross +18
Collisionless shocks can be produced as a result of strong magnetic fields in a plasma flow, and therefore are common in many astrophysical systems. The Weibel instability is one c…
Simulating the long-term evolution of radiative shocks in shock tubes
B. van der Holst, G. Toth, I. V. Sokolov +3
We present the latest improvements in the Center for Radiative Shock Hydrodynamics (CRASH) code, a parallel block-adaptive-mesh Eulerian code for simulating high-energy-density pla…
The Impact of Recent Advances in Laboratory Astrophysics on our Understanding of the Cosmos
D. W. Savin, N. S. Brickhouse, J. J. Cowan +11
An emerging theme in modern astrophysics is the connection between astronomical observations and the underlying physical phenomena that drive our cosmos. Both the mechanisms respon…
