  Nanofi­brous struc­tures are of high in­ter­est to the fields of en­gi­neer­ing and ma­te­ri­als sci­ence, and in­ves­ti­ga­tion of their prop­er­ties as well as dis­cov­ery of novel ap­pli­ca­tions for them both con­sti­tute lively areas of re­search. A very promis­ing ap­pli­ca­tion of nanofiber mats lies in the field of ac­cel­er­a­tor tech­nol­ogy: beam tar­gets made from nanofiber mats offer a so­lu­tion to the prob­lem of ad­vanc­ing the "in­ten­sity fron­tier"–-the limit on the beam in­ten­si­ties that can be re­al­ized in fixed tar­get ex­per­i­ments and neu­trino pro­duc­tion fa­cil­i­ties. How­ever, test­ing has shown that the sur­viv­abil­ity of these nanofiber tar­gets de­pends strongly on their man­u­fac­tur­ing pa­ra­me­ters, such as the pack­ing den­sity of fibers. In this work, we will use mul­ti­physics sim­u­la­tions to per­form a ther­mal study on how nanofiber tar­gets react to high in­ten­sity beams, so that the de­pen­dency of the tar­gets’ life­time on their con­struc­tion pa­ra­me­ters can be bet­ter un­der­stood.
