MATHEMATICAL-MODELING OF THE THERMONUCLEAR BURNING IN DHE3 TARGETS WITH D-T IGNITION

It is shown that there is a principal possibility of effective burning with gain G > 200 of ecologically clean DHe3 fuel in reactor-type tar gets without increase of driver energy. The proper target consists of DHe3 fuel and a D-T ignitor with a central hot spark; Under proper con ditions, the D-T burning wave reaches the DHe3 range with the temperat ure sufficient for ignition of DHe3 plasma. The simulation was carried out by means of TERA code based upon self-consistent solution of a ki netic equations system for products of primary and secondary thermonuc lear reactions by the Monte Carlo method and a hydrodynamic equations system.
