Profile modification by the ponderomotive force in spherical targets (open access)

Profile modification by the ponderomotive force in spherical targets

Experiments have been performed by LLL which indicate a definite density profile steepening. One possible mechanism for this effect is the ponderomotive force. LASNEX has been modified to include the light momentum deposition in the form rho dv/dt = -nabla P - nabla(radical epsilon + radical 1/epsilon) I/2c. Results will be presented from numerical simulations on spherical glass targets at laser intensities from 10/sup 14/ to 10/sup 16/ watts/cm/sup 2/. Emphasis is placed on the nature of the density profile near the critical region as a function of laser intensity and plasma conditions. The existence of this sharp step, whose scale length is of the order of a micrometer may imply a local reduction in the thermal conductivity.

Exploding pusher targets for the SHIVA laser system (open access)

Exploding pusher targets for the SHIVA laser system

The first targets for the 20 TW SHIVA laser system were designed. They are simple glass micro-balloons, approximately 300 ..mu..m in diameter and 2 ..mu..m thick, filled with D-T gas. Using LASNEX, whose model physics was utilized successfully for ARGUS targets, we optimize for both gain and yield. The target behaves as an exploding pusher. Different simple analytic models for the physics of this mode are presented, and are tested by comparing their scaling predictions, at constant absorbed power, with those demonstrated by LASNEX. Emphasis is placed on successful prediction of the basic quantities of peak ion temperature and compression, rather than neutron yield or n tau.

Adaptation of jet accumulation techniques for enhanced rock cutting (open access)

Adaptation of jet accumulation techniques for enhanced rock cutting

The velocity of water jet flow can be increased when the jet impacts a target material or another water jet. A theory describing such augmentation in terms of velocity, mass, and energy change is considered. The phenomena is sensitive to jet structure and the jet velocity profile. Jet velocity profiles do not remain constant over great distances from the nozzle, and ultimately disrupt into droplets. Within the droplet the profile is more regular and the velocity constant. The theory is extended to cover this case and experimental evidence of jet augmentation and its effects is presented.

High-velocity impact tests involving thin spherical shells of tantalum and 304 stainless steel (open access)

High-velocity impact tests involving thin spherical shells of tantalum and 304 stainless steel

This experimental program generated data to improve computer-code modeling of impact phenomena. The improved computation technique will be used to design a fissile-material container able to withstand a 335 m/s impact. The program involved flyer-plate-impact tests using thin shells of annealed 304 stainless steel and annealed tantalum at impact velocities of 28 to 180 m/s. No active instrumentation was used in this study; instead, all data were derived from measurements of test specimens. Pre- and post-test measurement of interior and exterior dot patterns etched on the shells provided surface-strain information. Radiographs of the deformed shells provided shell-contour data that we plotted vs impact velocity. Curves were fit to these data. We found that normalized crush height varies almost linearly with impact velocity for both materials, that normalized radius of contact varies directly with impact velocity for both materials but appears independent of shell thickness for tantalum, and that normalized interior-fold radius varies inversely with impact velocity and directly with shell thickness for stainless steel, but no clear relationship appears for tantalum.

Expansion potential for existing nuclear power station sites (open access)

Expansion potential for existing nuclear power station sites

This report is a preliminary analysis of the expansion potential of the existing nuclear power sites, in particular their potential for development into nuclear energy centers (NECs) of 10 (GW(e) or greater. The analysis is based primarily on matching the most important physical characteristics of a site against the dominating site criteria. Sites reviewed consist mainly of those in the 1974 through 1976 ERDA Nuclear Power Stations listings without regard to the present status of reactor construction plans. Also a small number of potential NEC sites that are not associated with existing power stations were reviewed. Each site was categorized in terms of its potential as: a dispersed site of 5 GW(e) or less; a mini-NEC of 5 to 10 GW(e); NECs of 10 to 20 GW(e); and large NECs of more than 20 GW(e). The sites were categorized on their ultimate potential without regard to political considerations that might restrain their development. The analysis indicates that nearly 40 percent of existing sites have potential for expansion to nuclear energy centers.

HOPI: on-line injection optimization program (open access)

HOPI: on-line injection optimization program

A method of matching the beam from the 200 MeV linac to the AGS without the necessity of making emittance measurements is presented. An on-line computer program written on the PDP10 computer performs the matching by modifying independently the horizontal and vertical emittance. Experimental results show success with this method, which can be applied to any matching section.
