Abstract
The processes of the direct energy conversions of the ICF-microexplosion in magnetic fields are discussed and investigated by both the methods of thei r simulations in the experiments with usual Laser-Produced Plasma Clouds an d via their numerical PIG-modelling in 3D-schemes. The problems of addition al energy losses of exploding plasmas which could prevent to achieve more t han 50% efficiency of such electrical conversion in uniform magnetic field are studied by comparison of experimental and numerical data. The opportuni ties of such common approach to simulation future NIF experiment with dipol e field's thrust are shown.
