The newly developed RALEF-2D code is based on the one-fluid, one-temperaturehydrodynamics model in two spatial dimensions (either x,y, or r,z):

Quasi-static approximation: radiation transports energy infinitely fast (compared to the fluid motion) ⇒ the energy residing in the radiation field at any given time is infinitely small !
Radiation transport adds 3 extra dimensions (two angles and the photon frequency) ⇒the 2D hydrodynamics becomes a 5D radiation hydrodynamics !

New quality due to radiation transport
Pure hydrodynamics (with or without thermal conductivity) is local.
Radiation hydrodynamics is non-local !
⇒ poses serious difficulties for the development of adequate numerical algorithms in 2 and 3 dimensions;
⇒ RALEF-2D is based on a newly developed original algorithm for radiation transport (not published yet).

Numerical scheme for hydrodynamics
The numerical scheme for the 2D hydrodynamics is built upon the CAVEAT-2D (LANL, 1990) hydrodynamics package and has the following properties:
it uses cell-centered principal variables on a multi-block structured quadrilateral mesh (either in the x-y or r-z geometry);
is fully conservative and belongs to the class of the second-order Godunovschemes (no artificial viscosity is needed);
the mesh is adapted to the hydrodynamic flow by applying the ALE (arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian) technique;
the numerical method is based on a fast non-iterative Riemann solver (J.K.Dukowicz, 1985), easily applied to an arbitrary equation of state.

Numerical scheme for thermal conduction
The numerical scheme for thermal conduction (M.Basko, J.Maruhn & A.Tauschwitz, J.Com.Phys., 228, 2175, 2009) has the following features:
it uses cell-centered temperatures from the FVD (finite volume discretization) hydrodynamics on distorted quadrilateral grids,
is fully conservative (based on intercellular fluxes with an SSI energy correction for the next time step),
(almost) unconditionally stable,
space second-order accurate on all grids for smooth κ,
symmetric on a local 9-point stencil,
computationally efficient.
The key ingredient to the RALEF-2D code is the SSI (symmetric semi-implicit)method of E.Livne & A.Glasner (1985), used to incorporate thermal conduction andradiation transport into the 2D Godunov method (in order to avoid costly matrix inversion required by fully implicit methods).

Numerical scheme for radiation transport
Our numerical scheme for radiation transport (not published yet) has the following basic properties:
radiation coupling to the fluid is combined with the thermal conduction within the unified SSI approach;
the angular dependence of the radiation field is treated by applying the classical Sn method with n(n+2) fixed photon propagation directions over the 4π solid angle;
the scheme is non-conservative in the sense that the energy deposition by radiation Qr is calculated not via elementary fluxes,
the algorithm has the important property of correct transition to the diffusion limit when the mean free path of photons becomes shorter than the characteristic length scale.

Spatial discretization: general outline
The numerical algorithm for radiation transport splits into two parts:
In part 1 of the algorithm the exact solution of the transfer equation across a quadrilateral cell with a fixed absorption coefficient kν = const is used; the interpolation scheme for the source function Bν is of primary importance.
Even if the radiation field is calculated with a sufficient accuracy, it is no guarantee for adequate coupling with the fluid in the diffusion limit!
part 1: calculation of the intensity field ;
part 2: calculation of the cell heating power
and its temperature derivative .

with the method of short characteristics (A.Dedner, P.Vollmöller, JCP, 178, 263, 2002). Mesh nodes are chosen as collocation points for the radiation intensity I .
angular directions are discretized by using the Sn method with n(n+2) fixed photon propagation directions over the 4π solid angle;
for each angular direction and frequency ν, the radiation field I is found by solving the transfer equation

Advantages: • even on strongly distorted meshes, it is guaranteed
that light rays pass through every mesh cell;• the algorithm is generally computationally more
efficient than that of long characteristics.
Disadvantages:

Our numerical scheme for radiation energy transport inevitably becomes non-conservative!
Conservativeness can be restored by assigning the intensity I to cell faces (R.Ramis, 1992).

The short-characteristic method produces a significant amount of numerical diffusion for light beams with sharp edges.
For thermal radiation a certain amount of numerical diffusion may be more an advantage than a drawback.

Problem statement for RH simulation
v0
Cylindrical implosion of an initially cold tungsten plasma cloud Initial shell parameters:
• radial thickness: 2 mm;
• implosion velocity: v0 = 400 km/s;
• uniform temperature: T0 = 20 eV;
• mass: m0 = 0.3 mg/cm (A); 6.0 mg/cm (Z);
• kinetic energy: 24 kJ/cm (A); 480 kJ/cm (Z);
• far from the axis, mass is uniformly distributed over the radius;
• possible influence of magnetic field is neglected.
In its present formulation, the problem is one-dimensional.

The shocked material radiates away about 90% of its initial kinetic energy.
The shock front is marked by an extremely narrow peak of matter temperature, which defines the hard tail of the emitted spectrum.
The density jumps by a very large factor of ~60.

Spatially integrated emission spectra: case A
High-resolution emission spectra can be obtained in the post-processor regime even when hydrodynamics is simulated with a relatively small number (8, 32) of spectral groups.The hard component contains ~16% of the total X-ray pulse energy.

Rescaling between 3D and 2D configurations
For 2D simulations of intrinsically 3D hohlraums we have to rescale the energy (total power) of the laser pulse !
When approximating a 3D configuration with a 2D one, we want to preserve
• the hydrodynamic flow pattern,• the temporal history of the radiation and matter temperatures.
The latter means that we preserve
• the geometric configuration and dimensions of the hohlraum,• the temporal shape of the driving laser power.
⇒ the total energy E (power) of the laser pulse must be rescaled to E !
Total energy balancein the hohlraum:

The unknown flux ratio (αw < 1 is the wall albedo) is found numerically by
performing 1 – 2 iterations.

Summary
We believe that the RALEF-2D code has good chances to be recognized as one of the most powerful in its class in terms of speed, accuracy and variety of solvable problems.
Further work is needed
1) to implement radiation transport in the axially symmetric r-z geometry,
2) to improve the laser absorption model,
3) to improve the algorithm for Lagrangian node velocities.

Hydrodynamics: comparison with KIAM
KIAM code RALEF-2D
1. Riemann solver: iterative for a two-term EOS (Zabrodin et al.); accurate for the ideal-gas EOS; slow and capricious for realistic EOS.
2. Only the first order in the Godunovmethod.
3. Either Lagrangian or Eulerian mesh.
1. Riemann solver: non-iterative for an arbitrary EOS (J.K.Dukowicz, LANL, 1985); fast and robust for any EOS at the cost of a certain loss of accuracy.
2. More accurate second-order Godunovmethod.
3. Fully adaptive mesh with an efficient second-order rezoning algorithm [Winslow (LLNL,1981) + Brackbill(LANL) + Basko (ITEP,2009)].

Explicit time discretization of the energy equation (Lagrangian form):

Vertex temperatures
To close the numerical scheme, we need an interpolation formula for the vertex temperatures. An effective algorithm is based on a bilinear interpolation in “natural”coordinates on a distorted c-quadrilateral: ( ) [ ] [ ], 1, 1 1, 1ξ η ∈ − + × − +

Important property: this interpolation reconstructs exactly an arbitrary linear function

For discontinuous κ the weights in the second formula are multiplied by κij, κi-1,j, κi,j-1, κi-1,j-1.

Strongly distorted grids
On strongly distorted grids the bilinear interpolation becomes non-positive!
To restore positiveness on a logically local stencil, we have to introduce additional constraints, which degrade the spatial convergence order on strongly distorted grids.

• For good accuracy we need “ghost” energy control, ε1 < 0.01−0.02 .
• Arithmetic-mean κf is by far more accurate than the harmonic-mean value.

Final remarks
Unlike in the ideal hydrodynamics, in radiation hydrodynamics there are virtually no analytical or self-similar solutions to rely upon; hence
Without numerical simulations, it is virtually impossible to achieve adequate qualitative understanding of dynamic plasma processes, where energy transport by thermal radiation is important.
