研究目的
The broad goal of this work is to address how well we can predict turbulent mixing in high energy density physics (HEDP) and inertial con?nement fusion (ICF) regimes at both macroscopic and subgrid scales.
研究成果
The chapter concludes that simulations of laser driven reshock and shear experiments in the strong shock high energy density regime help better understand material mixing driven by the RM and KH instabilities. Validation of the simulations was based on direct comparisons of simulation and experimental radiographic data supplemented with spectral analysis. The analysis shows that some turbulent features, such as self-similarity and isotropy, only fully develop once others, such as decorrelation, characteristic vorticity distributions, and integrated turbulent kinetic energy, have decayed significantly.
研究不足
The technical and application constraints include the inherent sensitivity of turbulent flows to initial conditions, the difficulty in accurately modeling initial conditions for which limited experimental characterizations are available, and the computational expense of resolving all relevant space/time scales and material interfaces in simulations.
