The evolution of non-uniform shocks produced by modulated laser irradiation or surface perturbations is relevant to studies inertial confinement fusion and material properties at high-energy-density conditions. We present results from an experiment conducted the OMEGA EP facility, where a 300 GPa shock was driven into fused silica sample with pre-fabricated single-mode modulations. Using time-resolved optical velocimetry, we captured continuous rippled motion, enabling comprehensive mapping...
A laser-driven shock propagating through an isolated particle embedded in a plastic (CH) target was studied using the radiation-hydrodynamic code FLASH. Preliminary simulations IONMIX equations of state (EOS) showed significant differences Hugoniot aluminum compared to experimental data low-pressure regime [O(10) GPa], resulting higher streamwise compression and deformation particle. Hence, simple modification ideal gas EOS developed employed describe materials examine dynamics. The...
