激光脉冲参数对冲击点火的影响

针对激光脉冲参数对冲击点火的影响进行理论分析和数值模拟.首先从冲击波的产生和碰撞过程出发,理论分析冲击脉冲峰值功率、脉宽和上升沿时间对点火的影响;然后通过数值模拟,以点火时间窗口作为评价标准,验证理论分析结果.研究表明:冲击脉冲峰值功率是点火成败的关键因素之一,脉冲宽度则需达到百皮秒以提供足够的点火能量,上升沿时间在小于600 ps的情况下不会对点火造成明显影响. 关键词： 冲击点火 激光冲击脉冲 点火时间窗口

Performance of shock ignition with varying ignitor

In this paper, the performance of shock ignition with varying ignitor is analyzed theoretically and simulated numerically. First, based on the formation and the collision of shock waves, effects of ignitor pulse on shock ignition are investigated theoretically. Then simulations are performed using a variety of ignitor pulses, determined by their peak powers, pulse widths and rise times, and the ignition window is employed as an evaluation criterion of the shock ignition performance. The obtained results show that the peak power of ignitor pulse is one of the key factors to successfully ignite the core, and the ignitor pulse must be wide enough to provide sufficient ignition energy, however, as the rise time of ignitor is not so long(~ns), it will not degrade the performance of shock ignition significantly.
