Righi-Leduc Effects in NIF ICF Hohlraums
POSTER
Abstract
The HYDRA 3D MHD package now contains all of the terms in the full Braginskii equations for the magnetic induction, ion thermal and electron thermal equations. One of the recent additions is the Righi-Leduc term for electron thermal conduction perpendicular to the electron thermal gradient and magnetic field directions. Simulations of a representative NIF hohlraum, which includes self-generated fields, will examine the effects of including the Nernst, Ettingshausen and Righi-Leduc terms.
