Abstract:

Dense, hot plasmas are susceptible to the electrothermal instability: a collisional process which permits temperature perturbations in electron currents to grow. It is shown here for the first time that linearising a system comprised of two opposing currents and a mobile ion-background as three distinct fluids yields unstable modes with rapid growth rates (∼ 1013 s −1 ) for wavenumbers below a threshold kth. An analytical threshold condition is derived, this being surpassed for typical hot-spot and shell parameters. Particle-in-cell simulations successfully benchmark the predicted growth rates and threshold behaviour. Electrothermal filamentation within the shell will impact the burn wave propagation into the cold fuel and resulting burn dynamics.
