Simulation of hydrodynamic parameters of heavy-ion fusion target

In heavy ion fusion is one of the ways of producing nuclear energy, target is directly compressed by heavy ion beams. Ion beam due to high efficiency, repetition rate and high performance capability are more advantages than lasers. The design of pulse shape and target layers are important parameters in gain value. In this paper, the target hydrodynamic parameters driven by bismuth ion beam with energy 10GeV and pulse duration 21ns, are simulated with the finite difference time domain) FDTD) method. The calculated gain is 222 for a typical fuel pellet. The gain calculated for a desired target is achieved 222. Our simulation results are compared with the results of MEDUSA and DEIRA codes.
