관성 핵융합의 군사적 의의와 고에너지밀도 플라즈마 시뮬레이션 결과

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Magnetic confinement, inertial confinement, and gravitational confinement are widely known for realizing nuclear fusion. Among them, Inertial confinement fusion(ICF), which is the origin of the hydrogen bomb, have been widely performed by several representative national laboratories such as Lawrence Livermore Laboratory(US), Lebedev Physical Institute(Russia), etc, for a long history. However, ICF in domestic is rarely studied due to the confidentiality and other various restriction. Considering the present nuclear threat in the Korean peninsula and national security environment, ICF should be actively studied and supported in the meaning of national security. The paper briefly outlines the origin of ICF and introduce high energy density plasma(HEDP), describes the laser ablation and wire implosion plasma. Also, pertinent simulation result using resistive MHD code will be shown with governing equation and physics model. Finally, the applications of ICF in defense will be introduced and underly the potential of the application in defense.
