STUDY OF BOMB DEBRIS EFFECTS. VOLUME I. THE TECH/OPS TWO-DIMENSIONAL TIME-DEPENDENT HYDRODYNAMICS CODE. APPLICATION TO SHOCK INTERACTION STUDY, 1962-1963.

Abstract

This report describes the Tech/Ops two-dimensional, timedependent hydrodynamics code modified to simulate the interaction between a re-entry vehicle and the shock wave from a nuclear burst at intermediate altitude. The simulation method requires that the calculations be able first to describe axially symmetric steady flow about an obstacle. Modification of the code to provide steady-flow solutions on the IBM 7090/7094 computer and subsequent application to the shock interaction problem are described and demonstrated below. A streamline program for displaying and utilizing the results is included. (Author)
