Growth of a new discipline
Abstract Nothing grows or lasts forever. Businesses, chemical reactions, phase transformations, new technologies, and, it is proposed, technical disciplines seem to exhibit a sigmoidal behavior in which they take time to appear (to ‘nucleate’); then ...

Transient thermal finite element analysis of CFC–Cu ITER monoblock using X-ray tomography data
Abstract The thermal performance of a carbon fibre composite-copper monoblock, a sub-component of a fusion reactor divertor, was investigated by finite element analysis. High-accuracy simulations were created using an emerging technique, image-based ...

First demonstration of improving laser propagation inside the spherical hohlraums by using the cylindrical laser entrance hole
Abstract The octahedral spherical hohlraums have natural superiority in maintaining high radiation symmetry during the entire capsule implosion process in indirect drive inertial confinement fusion. While, in contrast to the cylindrical hohlraums,...
