Developing nonlinear laser-plasma instability models for high-fidelity, multi-physics simulation capability for ICF/HED (IC Report) [Slides]
Modeling nonlinear effects of laser plasma instabilities (LPI) is critically important for ICF/HED experiments. Our project has the following goals: • Develop physics-based nonlinear LPI models using PIC simulations • Couple the nonlinear LPI effects to macroscopic modeling of ICF/HED exp. through laser ray-tracing (LRT).
