Abstract

We report on the release of a new version of the FESTR (P. Hakel, Comput. Phys. Commun. 207 (2016) 415–425., https://github.com/LANLhakel/FESTR) spectral postprocessor of hydrodynamic simulations of hot, dense plasmas. Based on given time histories of one-, two-, and three-dimensional spatial distributions of materials, and their local temperature and density conditions, spectroscopically-resolved signals are computed. The effects of radiation emission and absorption by the plasma on the emergent spectra are simultaneously taken into account. Furthermore this program can also be used independently of hydrodynamic calculations to analyze available experimental data with the goal of inferring plasma conditions.

FESTR, Version 0.x

Software Hakel, Peter

FESTR is a modeling tool for calculating spectroscopic-quality synthetic outputs (e.g., spectra and images) based on (in general) the time evolutions of 3-D spatial distributions of materials characterized by their chemical composition, temperature, and density conditions. FESTR performs raytracing across unstructured meshes, builds intrinsic optical properties of mixed materials by performing equation-of-state lookups in external data, and then solves the radiation-transport equation along rays to obtain emergent time and space resolved synthetic spectra. These results can be further processed into time and/or space integrated spectra, as well as into spectral-band-integrated synthetic images, radiated power histories, and total radiated energy values.more »« less

TACO3D. 3-D Finite Element Heat Transfer Code

Technical Report Mason, W E

TACO3D is a three-dimensional, finite-element program for heat transfer analysis. An extension of the two-dimensional TACO program, it can perform linear and nonlinear analyses and can be used to solve either transient or steady-state problems. The program accepts time-dependent or temperature-dependent material properties, and materials may be isotropic or orthotropic. A variety of time-dependent and temperature-dependent boundary conditions and loadings are available including temperature, flux, convection, and radiation boundary conditions and internal heat generation. Additional specialized features treat enclosure radiation, bulk nodes, and master/slave internal surface conditions (e.g., contact resistance). Data input via a free-field format is provided.

Quantitative metrics for evaluating thermonuclear design codes and physics models applied to the National Ignition Campaign

Journal Article Dimonte, Guy - Physics of Plasmas

In this study, physics models and design codes for hot dense plasmas undergoing thermonuclear burn are evaluated objectively using statistical metrics that compare the difference between calculations and data relative to the experimental uncertainties. The analysis is applied to the National Ignition Campaign (NIC) because it is relevant, comprehensive, and well documented. The statistics confirm that a key process afflicting NIC performance is mix driven by hydrodynamic instabilities as approximated here using the KL model [G. Dimonte and R. Tipton, Phys. Fluids 18, 085101 (2006)]. New physics models are also presented for instability-driven magnetic fields [B. Srinivasan et al., Phys.more »« less
