Hydrodynamic Relations for Direct-Drive Fast-Ignition and Conventional Inertial Confinement Fusion Implosions
Relations between stagnation and in-flight phases are derived both analytically and numerically, for hydrodynamic variables relevant to direct-drive inertial confinement fusion implosions. Scaling laws are derived for the stagnation values of the shell density and areal density and for the hot-spot pressure, temperature, and areal density. A simple formula is also derived for the thermonuclear energy gain and in-flight aspect ratio.
