辐射流体程序OSUKI中的激光射线追踪与能量沉积计算模块开发

  • 摘要: 辐射流体程序OSUKI是一款用于研究重离子束驱动惯性约束聚变的开源程序,其原生版本不具备激光与靶相互作用的模拟能力。本文基于几何光学近似与逆轫致吸收机制,在OSUKI程序中开发二维(2D)激光射线追踪与能量沉积计算模块。该模块采用基本无振荡(Essentially Non-Oscillatory, ENO)格式实现非结构网格下物理量梯度高精度求解,通过射线轨迹方程与二阶高斯求积法给出激光传输轨迹与能量沉积的数值计算,射线轨迹严格满足折射、反射定律。经准抛物通道、线性梯度球壳等典型算例校验,模拟计算得到的射线轨迹、密度梯度及能量沉积分布均与理论解析解高度吻合,精度优于同类程序。将该模块耦合至OSUKI后,可自洽完成激光驱动惯性约束聚变的辐射流体模拟,其结果与FLASH程序定量一致。该模块填补了高维拉格朗日非结构网格下辐射流体程序激光加载的技术空白,具备计算效率高、适配性强等优势,为激光聚变物理研究提供了可靠的数值工具。

     

    Abstract: The open-source radiation hydrodynamics code OSUKI, originally developed for heavy ion beam-driven inertial confinement fusion, cannot be directly used for laser-target interactions. To overcome this limitation, we develop a two-dimensional (2D) laser ray tracing and energy deposition calculation module for OSUKI based on the geometric optics approximation and inverse bremsstrahlung absorption. The module employs the ENO scheme to achieve high-precision evaluation of physical quantity gradients on unstructured grids. Numerical calculations of laser propagation trajectories and energy deposition are performed using ray trajectory equations combined with second-order Gaussian quadrature, rigorously satisfying the laws of refraction and reflection at grid boundaries. The module is validated with benchmark cases for targets with a quasi-parabolic channel and a linearly gradient spherical shell. The obtained ray trajectories, density-gradient distributions, and energy deposition results show excellent agreement with analytical solutions, achieving higher accuracy than comparable codes. After coupling this module into OSUKI, self-consistent radiation hydrodynamics simulations of laser-driven inertial confinement fusion are realized, producing results quantitatively consistent with those obtained with the FLASH code. This module fills the technical gap of laser loading in radiation hydrodynamics codes on Lagrangian unstructured meshes. It features high computational efficiency and strong adaptability, providing a reliable numerical tool for laser fusion physics research.
