Interfacial mixing in high energy density matter with a new kinetic model

ORAL

Abstract

We apply a new conservative multi-species multi-temperature BGK model to study interface mixing in a dense plasma with ICF applications. This model conserves mass, momentum, and kinetic energy and allows for a more clear connection to the underlying cross sections and inter-species collision rates. In particular, this example exhibits hydrogen jetting into the fusion fuel. We compare with molecular dynamics results.
