Coupling hydrodynamics with a Paraxial Solver for laser propagation. The HERA plateform for Laser-Plasma Interaction

摘要

We address here numerical simulation problems for modeling some phenomena arising in plasmas produced in experimental devices for Inertial Confinement Fusion. The model that we deal with, consists in a compressible fluid dynamics system coupled with a paraxial equation for handling the laser propagation. We sketch the description of the numerical methods used for the fluid dynamics system and for the paraxial equation. We give numerical results and some performances of the code on a parallel computer.
