The document describes a numerical algorithm to simulate plasmas and fluids in the 3 dimensional space by the Euler method, in which the spatial meshes are fixed to the space. The plasmas and fluids move through the spacial Euler mesh boundary. The Euler method can represent a large deformation of the plasmas and fluids. On the other hand, when the plasmas or fluids are compressed to a high density, the spatial resolution should be ensured to describe the density change precisely. The present 3D Euler code is developed to simulate a nuclear fusion fuel ignition and burning. Therefore, the 3D Euler code includes the DT fuel reactions, the alpha particle diffusion, the alpha particle deposition to heat the DT fuel and the DT fuel depletion by the DT reactions, as well as the thermal energy diffusion based on the three-temperature compressible fluid model.

The Code O-SUKI-N 3D is an upgraded version of the 2D Code O-SUKI (Comput. Phys. Commun. 240, 83 (2019)). Code O-SUKI-N 3D is an integrated 3-dimensional (3D) simulation program system for fuel implosion, ignition and burning of a direct-drive nuclea
r-fusion pellet in heavy ion beam (HIB) inertial confinement fusion (HIF).The Code O-SUKI-N 3D consists of the three programs of Lagrangian fluid implosion program, data conversion program, and Euler fluid implosion, ignition and burning program. The Code O-SUKI-N 3D can also couple with the HIB illumination and energy deposition program of OK3 (Comput. Phys. Commun. 181, 1332 (2010)). The spherical target implosion 3D behavior is computed by the 3D Lagrangian fluid code until the time just before the void closure of the fuel implosion. After that, all the data by the Lagrangian implosion code are converted to the data for the 3D Eulerian code. In the 3D Euler code, the DT fuel compression at the stagnation, ignition and burning are computed. The Code O-SUKI-N 3D simulation system provides a capability to compute and to study the HIF target implosion dynamics.
Many phenomena in collisionless plasma physics require a kinetic description. The evolution of the phase space density can be modeled by means of the Vlasov equation, which has to be solved numerically in most of the relevant cases. One of the proble
ms that often arise in such simulations is the violation of important physical conservation laws. Numerical diffusion in phase space translates into unphysical heating, which can increase the overall energy significantly, depending on the time scale and the plasma regime. In this paper, a general and straightforward way of improving conservation properties of Vlasov schemes is presented that can potentially be applied to a variety of different codes. The basic idea is to use fluid models with good conservation properties for correcting kinetic models. The higher moments that are missing in the fluid models are provided by the kinetic codes, so that both kinetic and fluid codes compensate the weaknesses of each other in a closed feedback loop.
A novel ignition hohlraum for indirect-drive inertial confinement fusion is proposed, which is named as three-axis cylindrical hohlraum (TACH). TACH is a kind of 6 laser entrance holes (LEHs) hohlraum, which is made of three cylindrical hohlraums ort
hogonally jointed. Laser beams are injected through every entrance hole with the same incident angle of 55{deg}. The view-factor simulation result shows that the time-varying drive asymmetry of TACH is no more than 1.0% in the whole drive pulse period without any supplementary technology such as beam phasing etc. Its coupling efficiency of TACH is close to that of 6 LEHs spherical hohlraum with corresponding size. Its plasma-filling time is close to typical cylindrical ignition hohlraum. Its laser plasma interaction has as low backscattering as the outer cone of the cylindrical ignition hohlraum. Therefore, the proposed hohlraum provides a competitive candidate for ignition hohlraum.
An overview of the algorithm and a sampling of plasma applications of the implicit, adaptive high order finite (spectral) element modeling framework, HiFi, is presented. The distinguishing capabilities of the HiFi code include adaptive spectral eleme
nt spatial representation with flexible geometry, highly parallelizable implicit time advance, and general flux-source form of the partial differential equations and boundary conditions that can be implemented in its framework. Early algorithm development and extensive verification studies of the two-dimensional version of the code, known as SEL, have been previously described [A.H. Glasser & X.Z. Tang, Comp. Phys. Comm., 164 (2004); V.S. Lukin, Ph.D. thesis, Princeton University (2008)]. Here, substantial algorithmic improvements and extensions are presented together with examples of two- and three- dimensional applications of the HiFi framework. These include a Cartesian two-dimensional incompressible magnetohydrodynamic simulation of low dissipation magnetic reconnection in a large system, a two-dimensional axisymmetric simulation of self-similar compression of a magnetic plasma confinement configuration, and a three-dimensional Hall MHD simulation of spheromak tilting and relaxation. Some planned efforts to further improve and expand the capabilities of the HiFi modeling framework are discussed.
The Code O-SUKI is an integrated 2-dimensional (2D) simulation program system for a fuel implosion, ignition and burning of a direct-drive nuclear-fusion pellet in heavy ion beam (HIB) inertial confinement fusion (HIF). The Code O-SUKI consists of th
e four programs of the HIB illumination and energy deposition program of OK3 (Comput. Phys. Commun. 181, 1332 (2010)), a Lagrangian fluid implosion program, a data conversion program, and an Euler fluid implosion, ignition and burning program. The OK3 computes the multi-HIBs irradiation onto a spherical fuel target. One HIB is divided into many beamlets in OK3. Each heavy ion beamlet deposits its energy along the trajectory in a deposition layer depending on the particle energy. The OK3 also has a function of a wobbling motion of the HIB axis oscillation, and the HIBs energy deposition spatial detail profile is obtained inside the energy absorber of the fuel target. The spherical target implosion 2D behavior is computed by the 2D Lagrangian fluid code coupled with OK3, until just before the void closure time of the fuel implosion. After that, all the data by the Lagrangian implosion code are converted to them for the Eulerian code. The fusion Deuterium (D)-Tritium (T) fuel and the inward moving heavy tamping material are imploded and deformed seriously at the stagnation phase. The Euler fluid code is appropriate to simulate the fusion fuel compression, ignition and burning. The Code O-SUKI 2D simulation system provides a capability to compute and to study the HIF target implosion dynamics.
