Abstract

A 2-D Eulerian code with a turbulent mix model was used for the first time to model a set of plastic (CH) ablator capsules with 15 μm thick CH shells. Our simulations of these capsules do a reasonable job of matching the implosion radius versus time, self-emitting core radius, and have an experiment/simulation yield ratio that is about 0.24.
