Notes:
Preheating is one of the most critical issues in laser fusion, because of significant reduction of volume compression. The nonlocal heat transport in an ablative plasma is found to play an important role in the preheating under high intensity laser irradiation. Namely, the electron heat transport should be described by the Fokker–Planck (FP) equation in the fluid implosion code. The Spitzer–Härm (SH) thermal conduction model is not applicable because the electron mean free path is comparable to the temperature scale length. The numerical simulations of the implosion with the FP heat transport have been carried out for the fast (high entropy) implosion mode in which the implosion velocity reaches as high as 6×107 cm/s. In the fast implosion, the required laser energy for ignition can be reduced. It is found in the simulation that the isentrope in the FP simulation code is higher by two to four times than that in the flux limited SH simulation. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.
