A computational study of the stagnation phase in inertial confinement fusion : hotspot energetics, diagnostics, and burn propagation
This thesis studies stagnating ICF capsules. The work is theoretical, with numerical modelling carried out primarily using a 3D multi-physics hydrocode, Gorgon. Simulations of NIF-relevant ICF stagnations are generated from the output of a 1D Hydra NIF post-shot simulation of shot N120205, with an i...
