Abstract

A theoretical model is presented describing the spatial structure and scaling laws of laser driven ablative implosions. The effect of inhibited electron thermal transport is explicitly included. The theory is in excellent agreement with results from a computer hydrodynamics code, under conditions when heat flow is flux-limited at the critical surface and suprathermal electrons do not form a dominant energy transport mechanism.
