Effect of hot-electron preheating on the multimode bubble-front growth of the ablative Rayleigh-Taylor instability
PHYSICS OF PLASMAS(2024)
摘要
Hot electrons (HEs) generated via parametric instabilities at high laser intensities are a critical concern of laser-driven inertial confinement fusion (ICF), which can significantly impact the ICF performance by preheating the target. In this paper, the effects of HE preheating with moderate HE energy on the evolution of two-dimensional multimode ablative Rayleigh-Taylor instability (ARTI) up to the self-similar growth stage are studied through numerical simulations with a multigroup diffusion model. It is found that HE preheating stabilizes the linear growth of multimode ARTI and delays the onset of the self-similar growth regime. This time delay is more significant for the short-wavelength mode ARTI and higher energy HE cases. It is also shown that the variation of self-similar growth coefficients under HE preheating is not very significant. The delay to the onset of the nonlinear stage of multimode ARTI by HE preheating with moderate energy may be beneficial to ICF implosions.
