Studies on the Preparation of Polymer Spherical Symmetry GRIN Sphere and Controlling its Gradient Index Distribution

In this paper, a polymer spherical symmetry GRIN sphere lens were prepared by the suspension-diffusion-copolymerization(SDC) technique, selecting methyl methacrylate(MMA) as monomer M1 and acrylic 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl ester(3FEA) as M2. The radial distribution of refractive index of the lens was measured by the shearing interference method, which demonstrated that the quadratic refractive-index distribution was formed in the sphere lens, and its Δn=0.019.

Discrete Boltzmann model for implosion- and explosion- related compressible flow with spherical symmetry

To kinetically model implosion- and explosion-related phenomena, we present a theoretical framework for constructing a discrete Boltzmann model （DBM） with spherical symmetry in spherical coordinates. To achieve this goal, a key technique is to use local Cartesian coordinates to describe the particle velocity in the kinetic model. Therefore, geometric effects, such as divergence and convergence, are described as a ＂force term＂. To better access the nonequilibrium behavior, even though the corre- sponding hydrodynamic model is one-dimensional, the DBM uses a discrete velocity model （DVM） with three dimensions. A new scheme is introduced so that the DBM can use the same DVM regard- less of whether or not there are extra degrees of freedom. As an example, a DVM with 26 velocities is formulated to construct the DBM at the Navier-Stokes level. Via the DBM, one can study simulta- neously the hydrodynamic and thermodynamic nonequilibrium behaviors in implosion and explosion processes that are not very close to the spherical center. The extension of the current model to a multiple-relaxation-time version is straightforward.

Improvement on Spherical Symmetry in Two-Dimensional Cylindrical Coordinates for a Class of Control Volume Lagrangian Schemes

In[14],Maire developed a class of cell-centered Lagrangian schemes for solving Euler equations of compressible gas dynamics in cylindrical coordinates.These schemes use a node-based discretization of the numerical fluxes.The control volume version has several distinguished properties,including the conservation of mass,momentum and total energy and compatibility with the geometric conservation law(GCL).However it also has a limitation in that it cannot preserve spherical symmetry for one-dimensional spherical flow.An alternative is also given to use the first order area-weighted approach which can ensure spherical symmetry,at the price of sacrificing conservation of momentum.In this paper,we apply the methodology proposed in our recent work[8]to the first order control volume scheme of Maire in[14]to obtain the spherical symmetry property.The modified scheme can preserve one-dimensional spherical symmetry in a two-dimensional cylindrical geometry when computed on an equal-angle-zoned initial grid,andmeanwhile itmaintains its original good properties such as conservation and GCL.Several two-dimensional numerical examples in cylindrical coordinates are presented to demonstrate the good performance of the scheme in terms of symmetry,non-oscillation and robustness properties.

Schwarzschild-de-Sitter Solution in Quantum Gauge Theory of Gravity

We use the theory based on the gravitational gauge group G to obtain a spherical symmetric solution of the field equations for the gravitational potentials on a Minkowski space-time. The gauge group G is defined and then we introduce the gauge-covariant derivative Dμ. The strength tensor of the gravitational gauge field is also obtained and a gauge-invariant Lagrangian including the cosmological constant is constructed. A model whose gravitational gauge potentials A^α μ （x） have spherical symmetry, depending only on the radial coordinate τ is considered and an analytical solution of these equations, which induces the Schwarzschild-de-Sitter metric on the gauge group space, is then determined. All the calculations have been performed by GR Tensor II computer algebra package, running on the Maple V platform, along with several routines that we have written for our model.

Global Spherically Symmetric Solutions for a Coupled Compressible Navier–Stokes/Allen–Cahn System

In this paper,we consider the global spherically symmetric solutions for the initial boundary value problem of a coupled compressible Navier–Stokes/Allen–Cahn system which describes the motion of two-phase viscous compressible fluids.We prove the existence and uniqueness of global classical solution,weak solution and strong solution under the assumption of spherically symmetry condition for initial dataρ0 without vacuum state.

Numerical Simulation of 2-D Radiation-Drive Ignition Implosion Process

A Lagrangian compatible radiation hydrodynamic algorithm and the nuclear dynamics computing module are developed and implemented in the LARED Integration code, which is a radiation hydrodynamic code based on the 2-D cylindrical coordinates for the numerical simulation of the indirect-drive Inertial Confined Fusion. A number of 1-D and 2-D ignition implosion numerical simulations by using the improved LARED Integration code (ILARED) are presented which show that the 1-D numerical results are consistent with those computed by the 1-D radiation hydrodynamic code RDMG, while the simulation results of the 2-D low-mode radiative asymmetry and hydrodynamic instability growth,according to the physical analysis and anticipation, are satisfactory. The capsules driven by the sources from SGII experiments are also simulated by ILARED, and the fuel shapes agree well with the experimental results. The numerical simulations demonstrate that ILARED can be used in the simulation of the 1-D and 2-D ignition capsule implosion using the multi-group diffusion model for radiation.
