Figure 2. FLASH simulations of the TDYNO platform with Spitzer thermal conductivity turned on (left) and off (right), showing the electron temperature in electron volts, eV (1 eV corresponds to 11,333 oC or 20,431 oF). The strong magnetization of the plasma achieved at the NIF TDYNO experiments results in significant suppression of the thermal conduction, which in turn results in significant fluctuations in the electron temperature (right), which are reproduced in the FLASH simulation.
