FLASH simulation of experimental platform (VIDEO)
Caption
A 3D radiation magneto-hydrodynamic FLASH simulation of the experimental platform. The video shows a rendering of the magnetic field as a function of time, with grids and cylindrical shields shown in blue and red. 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 strong values.
