This article studies the propagation of supersonic radiative Marshak waves. These waves are radiation dominated, and play an important role in inertial confinement fusion and in astrophysical and laboratory systems. For that reason, this phenomenon has attracted considerable experimental attention in recent decades in several different facilities. The present study integrates the various experimental results published in the literature, demonstrating a common physical base. A new simple semi-analytic model, is derived and presented along with advanced radiative hydrodynamic implicit Monte Carlo direct numerical simulations, which explain the experimental results. This study identifies the main physical effects dominating the experiments, notwithstanding their different apparatuses and different physical regimes. *

The Rayleigh-Taylor (RT) instability occurs at an interface between two fluids of differing density during an acceleration. These instabilities can occur in very diverse settings, from inertial confinement fusion (ICF) implosions over spatial scales of [Formula: see text] cm (10-1,000 μm) to supernova explosions at spatial scales of [Formula: see text] cm and larger. We describe experiments and techniques for reducing ("stabilizing") RT growth in high-energy density (HED) settings on the National Ignition Facility (NIF) at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Three unique regimes of stabilization are described: () at an ablation front, () behind a radiative shock, and () due to material strength. For comparison, we also show results from nonstabilized "classical" RT instability evolution in HED regimes on the NIF. Examples from experiments on the NIF in each regime are given. These phenomena also occur in several astrophysical scenarios and planetary science [Drake R (2005) 47:B419-B440; Dahl TW, Stevenson DJ (2010) 295:177-186].

“…Provided the scalability can be established, numerical simulations of the laboratory experiment with controlled initial conditions (which one can vary on the shot-to-shot basis) and numerous diagnostics, establishes a firm base for the code validation and verification. It is this area where considerable effort has been spent during the past decade (e.g., Calder et al, 2002Calder et al, , 2004Valarde et al, 2006;Stehle et al, 2009;Kuranz et al, 2010Kuranz et al, , 2018.…”

Exploring astrophysics-relevant magnetohydrodynamics with pulsed-power laboratory facilities

Laboratory facilities employing high pulsed currents and voltages, and called generally "pulsed-power facilities", allow experimenters to produce a variety of hydrodynamical structures replicating, often in a scalable fashion, a broad range of dynamical astrophysical phenomena. Among these are: astrophysical jets and outflows, astrophysical blast waves, magnetized radiatively dominated flows and, more recently, aspects of simulated accretion disks. The magnetic field thought to play significant role in most of the aforementioned objects is naturally present and controllable in pulsed-power environments. The size of the objects produced in pulsed-power experiments ranges from a centimeter to tens of centimeters, thereby allowing the use of a variety of diagnostic techniques. In a number of situations astrophysical morphologies can be replicated down to the finest structures. The configurations and their parameters are highly reproducible; one can vary them to isolate the most important phenomena and thereby help in developing astrophysical models. This approach has emerged as a useful tool in the quest to better understand magnetohydrodynamical effects in astronomical environments. The present review summarizes the progress made during the last decade and is designed to help readers identify and, perhaps, implement new experiments in this growing research area. Techniques used for generation and characterization of the flows are described. 1 Retired 2 CONTENTS I. Introduction II. Jets and outflows-weak magnetic field A.
