Convergent Compression

Convergent Compression is a dynamic compression mechanism in inertial confinement fusion wherein a spherically symmetric implosion amplifies pressure and density through the inward focusing of shockwaves, distinguished by the progressive reduction of hydrodynamic instabilities via controlled convergence of the fuel shell.
