Article
This paper describes first results of a novel compression method for a plasma by acceleration into a glass cone. The plasma is generated by a pulsed-power-driven coaxial plasma accelerator, prefilled with 2% hydrogen in a helium mixture. The pulse forming network of the experiment has a total capacitance of 27 μF at a maximum voltage of 10 kV. The...

In this work, we present the results of two-dimensional radiation-hydrodynamics simulations of a hohlraum target whose outgoing radiation is used to produce a homogeneously ionized carbon plasma for ion-beam stopping measurements. The cylindrical hohlraum with gold walls is heated by a frequency-doubled (\lambda_l = 526.5 \mu m) 1.4 ns long laser p...
Article
Remaining within the pure hydrodynamic approach, we formulate a self-consistent model for simulating the dynamic behavior of matter passing through metastable states in the two-phase liquid-vapor region of the phase diagram. The model is based on the local criterion of explosive boiling, derived by applying the theory of homogeneous bubble nucleati...

The lifetime of the liquid-vapor metastable state within the quasi-static expansion of volumetrically heated foils was calculated. For this purpose an equation-of-state model for homo-geneous mixtures of elements based on the model QEOS [1] and the corresponding code MPQeos [2] with an improved cold curve and liquid-vapor phase coexistence data rou...
Conference Paper
Full-text available
High-temperature phase diagramma including critical point of gas-liquid phase transition, as well as thermal (P, V, T ), caloric (H, P, T ) and entropic (S, V, T ) equations of state (EOS-s) for silica (SiO2) are very imortant in many terrestrial and cosmic applications. It should be noted that these properties of silica, first parameters of its cr...
