It is vital to identify and control all perturbation sources that could trigger ablative Rayleigh-Taylor instability One obvious perturbation 'seed' is surface roughness computed perturbation growth, validated by experiments - Specification for allowable roughness of NIF ignition capsule' is based on But what about infernal microstructure of shell materials? - Beryllium shells are composed of individual crystalline grains with - Polymer shells are composed of long molecular chains that might 'stack like an isotropic elastic/plastic properties logs' with a preferred orientation What happens when shock waves transit anisotropic material? What happens when such material is accelerated by radiation drive? We need a specification for allowable internal anisotropy.
