3D radiation magneto-hydrodynamic FLASH simulation of the NIF TDYNO experimental platform. Rendering of the magnetic field as a function of time, with grids and cylindrical shields shown in grey. The laser ablation generates two counter-streaming flows that go through the grids and collide in the center to form a hot turbulent region where turbulent dynamo can operate. Seed magnetic fields from the laser target interaction reach the center and turbulent dynamo amplifies them to large values, a million times the strength of Earth’s magnetic field, which results in the marked reduction of thermal conduction.
