Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to develop a numerical algorithm to track the preheat interface motion driven by radiation transfer in high-intensity laser experiments. Our front-tracking algorithm is coupled to a radiation process through an inter-package coupling by connecting the output from a radhydro code HYADES to the input of FronTier code of front tracking. Our coupled algorithm is validated by comparing simulation results from both codes in both low and high radiation cases. Significant interface motion and deformation of the harmonic perturbation due to radiation preheat are observed in high radiation heat case.
