WHETHER it's the mechanics of a supernova, the ignition of an inertial confinement fusion (ICF) capsule, or the detonation of a nuclear weapon, simulating the motion of fluids is anything but simple.

Dr. Arati Dasgupta, head of NRL's Radiation Hydrodynamics Branch, Plasma Physics Division, is recipient of the 2024 IEEE Plasma Science and Applications (PSAC) Award for her fundamental contributions ...

Laser-plasma interactions represent a cornerstone of high-energy-density physics, where intense laser pulses interact with solid or gaseous targets to generate plasmas. This process underpins the ...

As if last year’s fabulous Dual Asteroid Redirection Test firing a satellite bullet into an asteroid wasn’t enough, now researchers are doing detailed simulation of the nuclear deflection scenario ...

(Phys.org)—Two University of Texas at Arlington researchers want to bridge the gap between what is known about exploding stars and the remnants left behind thousands of years later. So they're trying ...

Radiative shocks are a class of shock waves in which the transport and deposition of radiation play a central role in modulating the shock’s structure and dynamics. These phenomena are not only ...

Scientists create the most detailed and accurate simulation ever produced of the first billion years of the universe. The CoDa III simulation shows galaxies forming in the early universe along the ...
