Abstract

The radiation hydrodynamics in laser-produced high-energy-density plasmas has been successfully simulated by means of the MULTI hydrocode. It is used in combination with the SNOP atomic physics code, which uses a steady-state screened hydrogenic explicit ion model and which generates non-LTE opacity tables for MULTI. After a brief general review of the modeling of the radiation hydrodynamics in laser-produced plasmas, the underlying physical models of MULTI and SNOP are described in detail, with particular emphasis on atomic physics. Examples of simulations of the radiation transport in laser plasmas are presented. They include a laser-irradiated gold foil and a radiatively heated carbon foil.
