  2. Pre-shot BUCKY Calculations for Z and RHEPP • Pre-shot BUCKY calculations performed for range of Z and RHEPP parameters. • BUCKY calculations for CH and He RHEPP beams on Graphite, W, Re and W-25Re. • Be filtered and un-filtered Z x-rays on Graphite.

  3. RHEPP Ion Spectra for CH4 and He Shots RHEPP He beam peak energies: He+: 325 keV RHEPP CH beam peak energies: C++: 1.2 MeV C+: 600 keV H+: 600 keV

  4. Predicted Ablation Depth As a Function of Fluence for CH4 and He RHEPP Beams on Graphite, W, Re, and W-25Re He beam CH beam Poor thermal conductivity for Re leads to enhanced ablation.

  5. W Irradiated with RHEPP CH and He and Graphite Irradiated with CH All have a Threshold for Ablation of 5 J/cm2. He RHEPP Beams Ablate More W Than CH; Graphite and W Respond to CH Similarly

  6. Filtering of Z W-Wire-Array X-Rays Can Move Spectrum Closer to Direct-Drive Threat Spectrum Filtered and Un-Filtered Z Un-Filtered Z at Various Times Un-filtered Z X-rays have a large < 50 eV component, particularly at early times. Be and other filters remove this.

  7. BUCKY Simulation of Z X-Ray Ablation Experiments of Graphite: Un-filtered Versus Be-Filtered Carbon BUCKY predicts that Be-Filtered Z X-rays will be more damaging to graphite at a given fluence. Carbon has an absorption edge at 490 eV.

  8. Summary: Pre-shot BUCKY Calculations for Z and RHEPP • Pre-shot BUCKY calculations performed for range of Z and RHEPP parameters. • BUCKY predicts CH and He RHEPP beams should see a threshold for ablation in W of 5 J/cm2. Graphite has a lower threshold for He than for CH4. Re has more ablation for both beams because of its poor conductivity. • Be filtering of Z x-rays increases the ablation to Graphite at a given fluence.

  10. BUCKY is a Flexible 1-D Lagrangian Radiation-Hydrodynamics Code:Used to model first wall heating, vaporization and re-condensation • 1-D Lagrangian MHD (spherical, cylindrical or slab). • Thermal conduction with diffusion. • Applied electrical current with magnetic field and pressure calculation. • Radiation transport with multi-group flux-limited diffusion, method of short characteristics, and variable Eddington. • Non-LTE CRE line transport. • Opacities and equations of state from EOSOPA, IONMIX or SESAME. • Thermonuclear burn (DT,DD,DHe3) with in-flight reactions. • Fusion product transport; time-dependent charged particle tracking, neutron energy deposition. • Applied energy sources: time and energy dependent ions, electrons, x-rays and lasers. • Moderate energy density physics: melting, vaporization, and thermal conduction in solids and liquids. • Benchmarking: x-ray burn-through and shock experiments on Nova and Omega, x-ray vaporization, RHEPP melting and vaporization, PBFA-II K emission, … • Platforms: UNIX, PC, MAC Back-up #2
