Abstract

The development of hydrodynamic instability (HDI) in laser targets is studied by means of 2D numerical code “ATLANT.” The scaling of HDI development for the condition of “DELFIN-1” laser setup experiments is derived. It is shown that there is the possibility to improve the shell compression condition for the case of long-wave perturbation of laser flux (determined by particular target irradiation geometry) by using the shell with “relief.”
