摘要
We have performed aperture measurements and simulations for vacuum hohlraums heated by wire array implosions. A low-Z plastic coating is often applied to the aperture to create a high ablation pressure which retards the expansion of the gold hohlraum wall. However this interface is unstable and may be subject to the development of highly nonlinear perturbations ("jets") as a result of shocks converging near the edge of the aperture. These experiments have been simulated using Lagrangian and Eulerian radiation hydrodynamics codes. (C) 1999 American Institute of Physics. [S0034-6748(99)57601-6].
