Los Alamos “Ranchero” Magnetic Flux Compression Generators (FCGs) have been used to power imploding liner loads. The fundamental FCG design is based on a cylindrical detonation system that expands the armature simultaneously into a coaxial genera

A computationally efficient method for transporting radiation in multidimensional plasmas has been developed and evaluated. The basis of this method is a uniform plasma approximation that allows one to utilize existing escape probability techniques t

The classical Richtmyer‐Meshkov ~RM! instability develops when a planar shock wave interacts with a corrugated interface between two different fluids. A larger family of so-called RM-like hydrodynamic interfacial instabilities is discussed. All of

Mitigation of the Rayleigh–Taylor (RT) instability of Z-pinch loads imploded from large initial radii through tailoring initial load density profiles in radial and axial directions is studied numerically. These methods could be helpful for a variet

A load structure with tailored density profile which delays the onset of the Rayleigh-Taylor instability development in imploding {ital Z} pinches by inverting acceleration of the magnetic field/plasma interface is proposed and studied numerically. T

The stability and radiative performance of structured Z‐pinch plasma loads heated by high‐current (≳20 MA) pulsed power generators are investigated. A limited mapping of parameter space is made for the regions of stability for loads configured

A two‐dimensional magnetohydrodynamic code that includes resistivity and viscosity has been used to study the growth of m=0 perturbations of a Z pinch in which the current increases with time. Stability for all wave numbers was found when the produ

The evolution of a dynamic X‐pinch plasma, formed by two or more intersecting crossed copper wires, is investigated theoretically and numerically in two dimensions to determine the behavior at the point of intersection. An X‐pinch plasma for cond

We have created large diameter, long implosion time, PRS loads that produce a stable pinch and a narrow X-ray pulse. Operation scaled successfully with current from 2 MA on DM2 to 6 MA on Saturn. The K-shell yields are comparable to those produced by
