Abstract
A semi-analytical model is constructed to investigate two-dimensional radiation heat waves (Marshak waves) in a low-Z foam cylinder with a sleeve made of high-Z material. In this model, the energy loss to the high-Z wall is regarded as the primary two-dimensional effect and is taken into account via an indirect approach in which the energy loss is subtracted from the drive source and the wall loss is ignored. The interdependent Marshak waves in the low-Z foam and high-Z wall are used to estimate the energy loss. The energies and the heat front position calculated using the model under typical inertial confinement fusion conditions are verified by simulations. The validated model provides a theoretical tool for studying two-dimensional Marshak waves and should be helpful in providing further understanding of radiation transport.
