基于辐射流体力学程序开展了高功率激光与平面靶相互作用的研究, 当激光与钨平面靶相互作用时, 由于热成丝不稳定性等原因引起激光能量沉积不均匀, 等离子体前沿会出现密度涨落, 后期会产生明显的等离子体成丝现象. 研究发现, 辐射冷却对成丝现象至关重要, 在等离子体的辐射流体动力学演化中, 辐射冷却效应会导致等离子体压强分布不均匀, 影响流体横向运动, 进而加强等离子体密度涨落, 在激光结束后密度涨落逐渐演变成为成丝现象. 通过对铝、铜、钨和金4种材料的研究, 发现高Z材料钨和金中, 由于辐射冷却效应较强, 导致明显的成丝现象. 研究结果将对激光聚变、实验室天体物理及强激光驱动的应用等研究具有借鉴意义.Interaction of high-power laser with planar target is studied by using radiation-hydrodynamics simulation. When the laser interacts with the tungsten planar target, the laser energy deposition is uneven due to thermal filamentation instability and other reasons, and density fluctuations will appear in the front of the plasma, resulting in obvious plasma filamentation in the later stage. The researches of four materials, i.e. aluminum, copper, tungsten and gold, show that in the high-Z material tungsten and gold, due to the strong radiative cooling effect, the filamentation phenomena of the density distribution, electron temperature distribution and pressure distribution obviously occur. The order of magnitude of filamentous plasma density is different from that of the surrounding plasma. The filamentation phenomenon is closely related to the non-uniform energy deposition of the laser and the radiative cooling effect, although the ray beam will cause inhomogeneity of the laser irradiation to a certain extent, this is not the main reason for the filamentation phenomenon observed in this paper. Owing to refraction, reflection and the thermal filamentation instability when the laser is transmitted in the ablation plasma, the laser energy is deposited unevenly, which generates instability seeds in the early stage of plasma formation. The radiative cooling effect then amplifies this instability seeds, creating a radiative cooling instability that eventually results in a filamentous distribution of physical quantities such as plasma density, temperature, and pressure. This filamentation phenomenon destroys the uniformity of the plasma to a certain extent, and lays the seeds for the growth of fluid instability, which will seriously affect fusion-related research. It is shown that radiative cooling is crucial to the filamentation phenomenon, which causes uneven distribution of the plasma pressure during the evolution of the plasma, thereby affecting its transverse motion and enhancing the density fluctuation. After the laser irradiation ends, the density fluctuation gradually develops into filamentations. We also find that the clear filamentation occurs only for high-Z materials like tungsten and gold, but not for the moderate-Z materials like aluminum and copper. This can be attributed to the fact that radiative cooling is stronger for the high-Z materials. Studying the filamentation effect in laser-irradiated planar targets can contribute to understanding the instability in laser plasma, and then suppressing this instability and improving the gain of fusion. The results here can thus be of reference significance to the research of laser fusion, laboratory astrophysics, and other applications of intense-laserdriving.
