Abstract: High-foot high-adiabat implosion simulations of ICF ignition capsules are performed with one-dimensional multi-group radiation transport hydrodynamic code RDMG and two-dimensional few-group radiation diffusion hydrodynamic code LARED-S. Compared with low-adiabat implosion, high-foot implosions improve significantly stability of ablation front and ablator-fuel interface by increasing radiation drive temperature of the foot, leading to great reduction of hydrodynamic instability growth and hot-spot mix. Meanwhile, high-foot implosion decrease DT fuel compression. Final compression density and areal density of the main fuel at stagnation are decreased, causing lower neutron yield. A better stability of high-foot high-adiabat implosion is obtained at cost of reducing DT fuel compression.
