Abstract. Space charge effects in multi-beam irradiation play an important role for increasing the energy deposition entropy in inertial confinement fusion. The analytical approach is too complicated and leads to heavy and slow-working numerical procedures even in multiple-processor's performance. The proposed numerical algorithm is a simple and efficient iterative space charge effects evaluation, created to improve the OK2 code calculation accuracy.
