The Charger Advanced Power and Propulsion Laboratory (CAPP), a laboratory within the Propulsion Research Center (PRC) at the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) is working with Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). to develop models and inform on promising paths for high gain magneto-inertial fusion (MIF) conditions. This report provides a framework for identifying promising conditions for achieving ignition in plasma-jet-driven magneto-inertial fusion (PJMIF)[1]. As proposed, for the first part of the contract, UAH proposes to develop a gain over unity set of stagnation conditions to provide a state of plasma conditions to achieve to set long terms goals for the PJMIF program. Specifically, UAH will model PJMIF stagnation conditions to include radiation, heat transfer, two temperature energy equations, fusion reactivity and nonlocal fusion product deposition, but no hydrodynamics for these purposes. These calculations will use a stationary plasma model to reduce simulation complexity—focusing on a DT target at 10 keV. Subsequent work will include a DD plasma layer acting as an afterburner. UAH will assume an initial magnetic field without any consideration of the topology, just assume a field strength, most likely scaled with consideration of the local hall parameter. This effort will inform the team on the tradeoff between mass, peak target field, etc and the achievable gain.

A three-dimensional model for the annual and semiannual variations of the thermosphere is presented in which energy and diffusive mass transport associated with the global circulation are considered in a self-consistent form. It is shown that these processes play a major role in the thermosphere dynamics and account for a number of temperature and compositional phenomena.
