Abstract

Hydrodynamic instabilities play an important role in the target compression for inertial confinement fusion (ICF). We present the analytical solution of a perturbed isentropic implosion. We compare the analytical solution to the results obtained with perturbation and bi-dimensional Lagrangian hydrodynamic codes. We also compare results from bi-dimensional code and perturbation code on an ICF like test case.
