Description
There are several areas that require the use of fusion technology, knowledge and technical solutions already at present, before the commissioning of stationary thermonuclear systems, e.g. fusion-fission hybrid reactor to burn transuranic and minor actinide fuels. The study of heat and burning in compression (due to fast liners and powerful drivers) of plasma in extreme heat conditions is one of these problems. Simulation of the operating modes and dense plasma at compression stage is necessary to ensure and control thermal process.
The mathematical model for determining the heat fluxes and plasma flows to the first chamber wall is based on the modeling of transport (diffusion, thermal, radiative) processes of atoms, ions, electrons, molecules, photons in a strong magnetic field.
Note that there are many papers, devoted to the description of thermomechanical effects of X-rays on a fused barrier [1-2]. We numerically simulated the impact of the X-ray, which is formed by the ignition of deuterium-tritium target, on the first wall within the concept of magneto-inertial fusion (MIF) [3-10].
This study was supported by the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation (Project # GosZadanie № 13.79.2014/K).
