[FLASH-USERS] Setting minimum ionization level in LaserSlab

[유현규]

Dear Flash developers and users,

I am working on the simulation of laser-induced ablation of Al target using mtmmmt EOS provided by FLASH.

According to documents, the minimum ionization level ms_targZmin in LaserSlab must be set to the value larger than value corresponds to critical density. In the example.par file, the ms_targZmin is set to 0.02, which corresponds to around critical density of 1053nm (1.205e+21 1/cc) in .par file.

However, the initial electron density of the target is generally set to free electron density (order of 1e+23 1/cc) in the other hydrodynamics simulations such as HYDRA or HELIOS.

Do I have to set ms_targZmin as corresponding value of free electron density of Al when using mtmmmt?

Is the value of ms_targZmin provided by example.par physically not correct?





Regards,

Hyungyu Yu
