    Notes: A combined discontinuous molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo simulation technique is used to study the swelling of athermal, continuous-space, near-perfect, trifunctional polymer networks containing hard chains of lengths 20 and 35 immersed in an athermal hard-sphere solvent. The swelling simulations are conducted under conditions of constant pressure and chemical potential. A simple, analytical theory for gel swelling is presented in which the gel free energy is calculated as the sum of an elastic, affine-type term, and a liquidlike mixing term that is based on the generalized-Flory dimer equation of state. The theory shows good agreement with our simulation results for the gel properties at swelling equilibrium. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Pressure–volume properties of endlinked hard-chain polymer networks (1999)

    Notes: Equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations are used to obtain the pressure and configurational chain properties of near-perfect, off-lattice, trifunctional hard-chain networks of chain lengths 20, 35, 50, and 100, and of tetrafunctional hard-chain networks of chain lengths 20, 35, and 50 over a range of packing fractions. Our simulation results show that the variation of network pressure with density is similar to that of uncrosslinked chain systems of the same chain length, except at low densities where the network pressure shows a negative region, as first observed by Escobedo and de Pablo. We present a theoretical treatment leading to an analytical expression for the network pressure as the sum of liquid-like and elastic contributions. The liquid-like contribution is obtained by extending the generalized Flory-dimer theory to networks, and the elastic contribution is obtained by treating the network as a set of interpenetrated dendrimers and using an ideal chain-spring analogy to calculate the free energy. The theoretical predictions for network pressure are in good agreement with simulation data. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Symmetry tuning of a near one-dimensional 2-shock platform for code validation at the National Ignition Facility (2016)
    American Institute of Physics (AIP)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2016-04-28
    Description: We introduce a new quasi 1-D implosion experimental platform at the National Ignition Facility designed to validate physics models as well as to study various Inertial Confinement Fusion aspects such as implosion symmetry, convergence, hydrodynamic instabilities, and shock timing. The platform has been developed to maintain shell sphericity throughout the compression phase and produce a round hot core at stagnation. This platform utilizes a 2-shock 1 MJ pulse with 340 TW peak power in a near-vacuum Au Hohlraum and a CH ablator capsule uniformly doped with 1% Si. We have performed several inflight radiography, symmetry capsule, and shock timing experiments in order to tune the symmetry of the capsule to near round throughout several epochs of the implosion. Adjusting the relative powers of the inner and outer cones of beams has allowed us to control the drive at the poles and equator of the capsule, thus providing the mechanism to achieve a spherical capsule convergence. Details and results of the tuning experiments are described.
