A Multiscale Eulerian Vlasov-Rosenbluth-Fokker-Planck Algorithm for Thermonuclear Burning Plasmas
Benjamin L. Reichelt, William T. Taitano, Brett D. Keenan +4
Accurate treatment of energetic fusion byproducts in laboratory plasmas often requires a kinetic description, owing to their large birth kinetic energy and long mean-free-paths com…
Validation of hydrodynamic and kinetic simulations with a plasma interpenetration ICF hohlraum experiment
Steven E. Anderson, Luis Chacón, Andrei N. Simakov +2
We report on simulations of counter-propagating laser-produced plasmas in an inertial confinement fusion (ICF) hohlraum surrogate, aiming to replicate observations reported by Le P…
Fully kinetic simulations of strong steady-state collisional planar plasma shocks
Steven E. Anderson, Luis Chacón, William T. Taitano +2
We report on the first steady-state simulations of strong plasma shocks with fully kinetic ions and electrons, independently confirmed by two fully kinetic codes (an Eulerian conti…
An Eulerian Vlasov-Fokker-Planck Algorithm for Spherical Implosion Simulations of Inertial Confinement Fusion Capsules
William T. Taitano, Brett D. Keenan, Luis Chacon +3
We present a numerical algorithm that enables a phase-space adaptive Eulerian Vlasov-Fokker-Planck (VFP) simulation of an inertial confinement fusion (ICF) capsule implosion. The a…
An efficient, conservative, time-implicit solver for the fully kinetic arbitrary-species 1D-2V Vlasov-Ampère system
Steven E. Anderson, William T. Taitano, Luis Chacón +1
We consider the solution of the fully kinetic (including electrons) Vlasov-Ampère system in a one-dimensional physical space and two-dimensional velocity space (1D-2V) for an arbit…
A conservative phase-space moving-grid strategy for a 1D-2V Vlasov-Fokker-Planck Equation
William Tsubasa Taitano, Luis Chacon, Andrei Simakov +1
We develop a conservative phase-space grid-adaptivity strategy for the Vlasov-Fokker-Planck equation in a planar geometry. The velocity-space grid is normalized to the thermal spee…
