Title: Marshak waves: Constant flux vs constant T-a (slight) paradigm shift

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/104716· OSTI ID:104716

We review the basic scaling laws for Marshak waves and point out the differences in results for wall loss, albedo, and Marshak depth when a constant absorbed flux is considered as opposed to a constant absorbed temperature. Comparisons with LASNEX simulations and with data are presented that imply that a constant absorbed flux is a more appropriate boundary condition.
