Expérimental et théorique
Inertial Confinement Fusion is now a growing domain following the NIF recent results. Demonstration of a gain greater than one has been recently performed inducing new insight int the physics processes that intervene in capsules implosions. Among these processes, one can find shock physics, equation of state, radiation, hydrodynamic instabilities, …. In this internship, the student will study the influence of a porous material on a shock wave propagation, analyzing experimental data obtained on the Gekko laser in Japan. Comparisons will be made with different models that have been developed in this field. The student will also participate to an experimental campaign on LULI2000 (the most powerful academic laser facility available in Europe) in April 2024. He/she should also be interested to develop numerical skills in using a 2D/3D MHD radiative code (FLASH developed by Chicago University) to design and interpret experimental results.
