Abstract

The thin shell (layer) configuration is adopted in inertial-confinement fusion (ICF) implosions. The weakly nonlinear deformation of the thin shell significantly influences the performances of implosion acceleration and fusion ignition, which is an important issue for the study of ICF physics. Based on the thin layer model of Ott (Ott E 1972 Phys. Rev. Lett. 29 1429), an improved thin layer model is proposed to describe the deformation and nonlinear evolution of the perturbed interface induced by the Rayleigh-Taylor instability (RTI). Differential equations describing motion are obtained by analyzing the forces of fluid elements (i.e., Newton's second law), which are then solved by numerical method. Then the position of the perturbed interface with an initial perturbation can be obtained. The linear growth rate obtained from our thin layer approximation agrees with that from the classical RTI. For fixed Atwood number (wave number), the total amplitudes of the bubble and spike obtained from the improved thin layer model agree with those from the three-order weakly nonlinear model. In addition, we compare the deformation and evolution of the layer from our model with results of the numerical simulation. In the linear regime, the amplitudes of the bubble and spike obtained from our model agree with those from the numerical simulation. And the evolution of the perturbed interface obtained from the improved thin layer model is consistent with that from the numerical simulation. In the nonlinear regime, the evolution trends of the total amplitude of the bubble and spike for both the improved thin layer model and numerical results are the same. However, the amplitude of the bubble is obviously greater than that of the spike in the later stage of the perturbation. This is because of some shortcomings in the improved thin layer model. The first shortcoming is that ignoring the dynamical pressure in the pressure difference. In fact, the shear velocity of the fluids plays an important role in the nonlinear regime of the perturbation. The second shortcoming is that the surface area of the upper interface equals the lower interface in the whole perturbation process of the present model. Thus, the present model can be used to describe the nonlinear evolution of the perturbed interface before the mushroom structure. Finally, it is worth noting that the improved thin layer model can be used to describe the deformation and nonlinear evolution of a thin layer for arbitrary Atwood number with a perturbation of large initial amplitude and arbitrary distribution. The initial perturbations of the triangular and rectangular waves are also discussed.
