PIC simulations of liner-fuel compression in PLX
POSTER
Abstract
OSIRIS Particle-in-Cell modeling of liner-fuel compression in Plasma Liner Experiment [PLX, Hsu et al. IEEE Transaction on Plasma Science 40, 1287 (2012)] will be presented. These 1D simulations show that hydrogen fuel compression and heating can be achieved with an impinging Xenon liner and with significant liner-fuel interpenetration. FLASH simulations show similar liner slowdown and fuel heating even though the MHD code does not allow the interpenetration. Numerical issues in the PIC simulations will also be discussed.
