Abstrakt: Experiments conducted on the LANL Trident two-beam facility show the viability of fluorescence-based imaging as a diagnostic in high-energy-density (HED) hydrodynamics experiments. Passive fluorescence experiments using titanium-pumped scandium-oxide, or iron-pumped manganese-oxide, show that fluorescence emission can be produced at sufficient intensities to be useful. Dynamic experiments, designed to demonstrate particle tracking in time for particle imaging velocimetry (PIV), were marginally successful in that only very large particulates could be definitively observed. However, our results indicate that experiments conducted on facilities offering a greater energy would be less susceptible to the limitations confronted in this study and thus, significantly enhance the prospect of PIV as an effective diagnostic tool in HED experiments.
