Lagrangian hydrodynamics

The lagrangian algorithm uses a staggered grid. Velocities are defined at nodes while pressures, densities

and internal energies are defined at cells. Mass, energy and momentum (linear and angular) are preserved.

Ray tracing

Energy beams (laser or ions) are decomposed into a large number of “beamlets”. Each “beamlet” carries

ni particles with energy e

i. Output values n

i and e

i of at cell exit are computed from input values,

distance x, and cell thermodynamical values k, Z

Ray tracing requires the numbering of interfaces between cells, and the creation of cell-to-interface andcell-to-cell conectivity tables.

● Ignition calculations have been done by using the 2D code DUED that includes all neccesary physics (hydro + heat + radiation + burning + alpha heating).

● Axial symmetry is assumed● Ignition occurs as a result of the

synergetic action of the shocks

generated by proton energy

The agreement between both codes (MULTI3D and DUED) is

“perfect” for N=∞ and thermal conductivity in DUED is switched out.

Heat transfer

The heat tranfer algorithm uses a node defined temperatures and energies. Thermal flux is assumed

uniform inside each cell and discontinuous at interfaces. The integral of these discontinuities is

distributed in equal parts between adjacent nodes.

The algorithm is described in:

R. Ramis, J. Meyer-ter-Vehn, and J. Ramírez, Comp. Phys. Comm. (2009), doi: 10.1016/j.cpc.2008.12.033

The coupling with hydrodynamic algoritm (where energies are defined at cells) require interpolation of internal energies at cells to compute conductivities and pressures, and distribution of deposition terms (hydro work and beams) to nodes.

These results are in agreement with 2D studies with MULTI2D and CHIC: R. Ramis, J. Ramírez, and G. Schurtz, Laser and Particle Beams (2008), 26, 113-126

Density from 2 to 14 g/cc and temperature from 30 to 140 eV (for s=140 m)

SummaryGIFIFP UPM / ETSIA

● MULTI3D is now available for laser-matter interaction studies● There is a qualitative agreement with 2D simulations on

imploding cylindrical targets.● Quantitative comparisons have to be carried out.● This requires the use of hexahedrical cells.● Lagrangian limitations (cell distorsion and multivaluated regions)

are similar as the one in 2D● Simulations sugest to use eliptical focal spots

Thanks for your attention!
