By means of a new two-dimensional three-temperature hydrodynamical
code we considered the burning of the deuterium fuel with a small amount
of a catalytic 3He in a cylindrical channel. To reduce the
requirements for an ignition heavy ion beam we used an irradiated DT
tablet (Jbeam = 4·106 TW/g,
Ebeam = 0.5 MJ). We received the steady burning
wave for the parameter ρr [gsim ] 8–10
g/cm2 with a gain coefficient G [gsim ] 30
in comparison with such parameters for the DT fuel G ∼
140 at ρr = 0.5 g/cm2. Upon reducing the
parameter ρr ∼ 4 g/cm2, the burning
wave disappears moving along a channel. A part of the deuterium
fuel burns with a reduced gain coefficient of 3–5. In
the case of large fuel densities ρ = 100 g/cm3,
our estimates show extremely large requirements for a compression beam
450–750 MJ for ρr ∼ 4 g/cm2.
