Abstract:

This report describes research undertaken by Mission Research Corporation during 1983-84 in support of the experimental effort to model effects of high altitude nuclear bursts using high power lasers. Hydrodynamic simulations of experiments at NRL are discussed the appropriate scaling laws are derived for variation of all important experimental parameters.
