Investigation of Hydrodynamic Properties of Hot Dense Plasma

Resumo

Hydrodynamic properties of hot dense plasma bunch have been studied in terms of their application to the problem of inertial confinement fusion. The two-temperature hydrodynamic equations taking into account the electron heat conduction and kinetics of the charge composition are presented. The following model problems are considered: expansion of a plasma bunch in a vacuum, compression of the plasma by shock waves, interaction of the plasma bunch with a laser radiation and a beam of heavy ions. The some problems arising in the problem of inertial confinement fusion are analyzed on the basis of the developed numerical methods.
