Hydrodynamic instability of ablation fronts in inertial confinement fusion

摘要: An analytical model for the Rayleigh–Taylor instability of an ablation front is developed by decoupling analysis from corona physics. Thus, validity resulting dispersion relation not limited a particular approximation unperturbed profiles. In consequence, it turns out to be suitable calculating growth rate using profiles obtained one-dimensional simulations. The applies regime with large and intermediate Froude numbers, which Fr⩾10−2. However, well behaved also Fr⩽10−2, allowing its application situations arbitrary numbers. Besides, shows relevance stabilizing effects lateral transport mass momentum.
