Abstract:The role of flux-limited thermal conduction on the fusion performance of the uniaxially-driven targets studied by Derentowicz et al. 1 is explored as part of a wider effort to understand and quantify uncertainties in ICF systems sharing similarities with First Light Fusion's projectile-driven concept. We examine the role of uncertainties in plasma microphysics and different choices for the numerical implementation of the conduction operator on simple metrics encapsulating the target performance. The results in… Show more
