Abstract:
In recent years, the study of kinetic effects is a hot issue in the field of laser inertial confinement fusion, which helps to understand the deviation between experimental results and traditional fluid simulation. The temperature and density of the plasma in indirect-drive hohlraum span multiple orders of magnitude, and the composition of capsule is complex. In the local high temperature and low density region, the thermal non-equilibrium effect of particles becomes significant, which may indirectly affect the implosion performance. In this paper, the concept and some progress of kinetic effects in the ICF field are briefly reviewed.
