  • 球形内爆是惯性约束聚变及武器物理研究中实现极端压缩的核心过程,其特有的几何收缩效应使得界面失稳的演化规律比平面情形更加复杂.针对这一物理问题,引入势流模型与弹性本构方程,推导并数值求解了控制球形界面运动和稳定性的耦合方程,探讨了材料弹性与外部驱动压力对界面演化和扰动增长的影响.结果表明,随着剪切模量和驱动压力增大,界面振荡频率增加,弹性抑制了界面收缩幅值,外部压力则起到相反的促进作用.引入了扰动增长函数量化扰动振幅增长情况,结果表明增加外部压力会加剧短波长扰动,而弹性对短波长扰动具有抑制作用,且扰动增长存在截止模态及相应的截止剪切模量.进一步,通过分析外部压力和剪切模量参数空间内界面失稳情况,发现扰动模数增大能扩展保持界面稳定的参数范围,提高诱发界面失稳所需的临界驱动压力.最后,通过将理论模型和数值模拟结果比较,证实了该模型在捕捉复杂介质界面动力学特征方面的有效性.本研究深化了对动态球形收缩几何中Rayleigh-Taylor不稳定性的理解,并为进一步探索非线性扰动增长及材料弹塑性转变提供了有用的理论框架.

     

    Spherical implosion is the core process for achieving extreme compression in inertial confinement fusion (ICF) and weapons physics research. Its inherent geometric convergence effects make the evolution of interface instabilities significantly more complex than in planar cases. To address this physical problem, a potential flow model and elastic constitutive equations are introduced to derive and numerically solve the coupled equations governing the motion and stability of a spherical interface. Furthermore, the influences of material elasticity and external driving pressure on interface evolution and perturbation growth are investigated. Theoretical analysis indicates that the motion of the spherical interface is independent of the perturbed mode. The interface motion undergoes four stages: accelerated contraction, decelerated contraction, accelerated expansion, and decelerated expansion. Since the proposed model considers a purely elastic solid, the interface radius exhibits undamped periodic oscillations. As the shear modulus and driving pressure increase, the oscillation frequency of the interface rises. Specifically, elasticity suppresses the contraction depth of the interface, whereas the external pressure promotes it. With increasing driving pressure, the contraction ratio tends toward a constant value, suggesting that further increasing pressure has a limited effect on enhancing compression depth. The growth of the perturbation amplitude exhibits a characteristic of initially accelerating and then decelerating with the increase of the perturbation mode number until stabilization is reached. The perturbation growth function is introduced to quantify the evolution of the amplitude, showing that the extent of perturbation growth is positively correlated with the maximum value of this function. The results demonstrate that elasticity suppresses the development of instability, particularly inhibiting short-wavelength perturbations. For a specific perturbed mode, a cutoff shear modulus threshold exists, above which the perturbation is completely suppressed. Conversely, the driving pressure promotes interface instability and significantly enhances the growth of short-wavelength perturbations. Furthermore, the investigation within the parameter space of driving pressure and shear modulus reveals that increasing the perturbation mode number expands the stable parameter range, thereby raising the external driving pressure required to trigger interface instability for the same material. Finally, a comparison between the theoretical model and numerical simulations confirms the validity of the model in capturing the interface dynamic characteristics of complex media. This work advances the understanding of Rayleigh-Taylor instability in dynamic spherical geometries and offers a useful theoretical framework for further exploration of nonlinear behavior and elasto-plastic transitions, particularly in conjunction with numerical simulations.
