Relations between stagnation and in-flight phases are derived both analytically and numerically, for hydrodynamic variables relevant to direct-drive inertial confinement fusion implosions. Scaling laws are derived for the stagnation values of the shell density and areal density; also the hot spot pressure, temperature and areal density. Simple formulas are derived for the thermonuclear energy g...
