Abstract

A NIF-type hohlraum target (Lindl 1995; CEA 1995) is analyzed in an integrated calculation that uses last revision (4.2) of MULTI2D code (Ramis et al. 1992). The numerical simulation includes: Lagrangian mesh, tracking of laser beams, inverse bremsstrahlung absorption, 3D radiation transport, radiation-induced hydrodynamics of casing and window panes, and radiatively driven capsule implosion. Electron heat conduction (Spitzer with flux limiter), tabulated Equations of State (Sesame), and LTE opacities are also included. Detailed results on hydrodynamic evolution of the system, compression symmetry, and energy balance are also provided.
