C4 explosion simulation
What is a hydrocode?
- Hydrocodes are complex and large computer software for the simulation of highly nonlinear and dynamic continuum behavior.
- These codes run on supercomputer systems to simulate highly non-linear, complex problems with very small-time scale dynamics consisting of powerful shock-related phenomena.
Underwater explosion simulation
Applications of Hydrocodes
Inertial confinement fusion, impact cratering, explosives, shield design, and underwater explosions are typical hydrocode applications.
Material interface shock interactions and interface instabilities are important phenomena that must be addressed accurately with hydrocodes.
Water-air shock tube simulation
Advantages of Our Solver
The most challenging problems, such as arising in the field of inertial confinement fusion research, consist of complex interface instabilities between materials with hugely different impedances. Current commercially available hydrocodes are not capable of managing such interface shock interactions. Our unique interface capturing method is able toaccuratelycapture such interfaces in one control volume point providing physically accurate results.
