Fusion laser studies
Abstract
Computer modeling of short pulse HF chemical lasers is discussed. Disagreements between laser code predictions and short pulse laser experiments are examined. The introduction of treatments for initiation and energy loss mechanisms, and the consideration of initiation nonuniformities are evaluated for reducing uncertainties between code predictions and experimental observations. Areas of work required to reduce the remaining modeling uncertainties are identified.
