Inertial Confinement Fusion and Laser-Driven Hydrodynamics

Due: May 1, 2025

$99,200

Description

This program focuses on theory and simulation of laser-matter interaction, especially as it pertains to Inertial Fusion Energy research. Modeling of laser-plasma interaction experiments as well as laser direct-drive fusion energy targets are currently done with a massively parallel radiation-hydrodynamics transport code. Current research topics include the seeding and growth of hydrodynamic instabilities in ablating plasmas, laser-plasma instability control, equation-of-state models, nonlocal thermal conduction, and particle and...

Conducted by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine's Fellowships Office since 1954, these programs offer a comprehensive research experience through a rigorous selection process. The programs aim to: 1) Offer promising postdoctoral and senior scientists/engineers the chance to pursue self-directed research aligned with sponsoring laboratories' goals, 2) Enhance comprehensive research efforts of participating laboratories, 3) Provide recent doctoral graduates a platform for focused research collaboration with permanent laboratory staff, and 4) Foster professional growth by providing opportunities to gain skills, experience, and connections with leading scientists, ultimately enhancing career prospects in academia, industry, or government research roles. The programs provide mentorship, access to state-of-the-art facilities, and opportunities to influence government policy.
