Since the seminal paper of Nuckolls triggering the quest of inertial confinement fusion (ICF) with lasers, hydrodynamic instabilities have been recognized as one of the principal hurdles towards ignition. This remains true nowadays for both main approaches (indirect drive and direct drive), despite the advent of MJ scale lasers with tremendous technological capabilities. From a fundamental science perspective, these gigantic laser facilities enable also the possibility to create dense plasma flows evolving towards turbulence, being magnetized or not. We review the state of the art of nonlinear hydrodynamics and turbulent experiments, simulations and theory in ICF and high-energy-density plasmas and draw perspectives towards in-depth understanding and control of these fascinating phenomena. This article is part of a discussion meeting issue 'Prospects for high gain inertial fusion energy (part 2)'.
自努科尔斯发表开创性论文引发利用激光进行惯性约束聚变（ICF）的探索以来，流体动力学不稳定性一直被视为实现点火的主要障碍之一。如今，对于两种主要方法（间接驱动和直接驱动）而言，情况依然如此，尽管具备巨大技术能力的兆焦耳级激光器已经问世。从基础科学的角度来看，这些巨型激光装置还使得创造向湍流演化、有无磁化的致密等离子体流成为可能。我们回顾了ICF以及高能密度等离子体中非线性流体动力学和湍流实验、模拟与理论的现状，并展望了深入理解和控制这些迷人现象的前景。本文是“高增益惯性聚变能源的前景（第2部分）”讨论会议文集的一部分。
