A new ignition scheme is proposed, in which the compressed DT main fuel is ignited by
impact collision of another fraction of separately imploded DT fuel, which is accelerated in …

A totally new ignition scheme is proposed, in which the compressed DT main fuel is ignited
by impact collision of another fraction of separately imploded DT fuel, which is accelerated in …

The inertial confinement fusion (ICF) philosophy is based on high compression. The
reasoning is that (a) it is cheaper (energetically) to compress than to heat and (b) nuclear …

Recently a new fast ignitor concept has been proposed by Velarde et al.(2003) that uses
only one energy drive. In this concept, the ignition is induced by the collision of high velocity …

The Munroe effect is a cumulative hydrodynamic flow where a conically shaped solid liner is
imploded on to its axis of symmetry and the oblique impact results in formation of a …

En las últimas décadas se han producido avances significativos en los métodos numéricos
para fluidodinámica, siendo el de Malla Adaptativa Refinada (AMR) uno de los más …

This chapter discusses the production of inertial fusion energy (IFE). It focuses on laser-
driven fusion with the direct implosion scheme for central ignition, fast ignition, and impact …

The generation of high-energy-density (HED) plasma jet from a laser ablating thin cone
target is studied theoretically and by numerical simulations. Theoretical analysis and 1D …

The plasma block (piston) with pressure P 1 is generated as a result of the nonlinear
(ponderomotive) force in laser–plasma interaction. The plasma block can be used for the …

An innovative ignition scheme is newly proposed, where the compressed DT main fuel is
ignited by impact collision of another fraction of separately imploded DT fuel. The second DT …
