Advanced Target Design for the FIREX-I Project

Numerical Study of Advanced Target Design for FIREX-I

In the fast ignition (FI) scheme, at first high-density fuel core plasma is assembled by implosion laser, and it is then heated by peta watt laser to achieve fusion burning condition. A typical target for FI is a shell fitted with a reentrant Au cone to make a pass for heating laser. It is found that a high-Z material such as Au has disadvantage as a cone material in the long-duration and high-...

Integrated Simulations and Respective Simulation Modeling for FIREX-I

Integrated simulations for the fast ignition with a cone-guided target and 10[ps] heating laser have been performed to investigate the core heating property of FIREX-I experiments. It was found that the core reached higher average temperature when the preformed plasma on an inner surface of the cone tip had longer scale length. As the scale length of the preformed plasma was not easily controll...

investigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures

deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...

Documentation for the ’Advanced Facade Rendering’ Project

This document is intended to give an overview of the project ’Advanced Facade Rendering’. The Project’s aim was to improve the generation of facades and their geometry and subdivisions based on simple facade pictures. These subdivisions are set automatically by using some sophisticated image-based algorithms or manually by the user. This way it is possible to create astonishing results of a fac...
