NUCLEAR EXPLOSION INTERACTION STUDIES. VOLUME 3. MISCELLANEOUS CODE DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

A group of SPUTTER routines has been modified or developed to execute in a more nearly accurate and efficient manner the task of 'rezoning' the Lagrangian zone structure in a specified region of the system being analyzed. The automatic routine AUTORZ has been expanded to provide for maintaining a prescribed spatial definition within a region. The control routines REZONE, CONVER, and ZONE have been modified to make use of the new routines ZMS and ZRAD, which accomplish conversion between space and mass coordinates, and a special procedure PROFL is described which performs energy interpolation in certain cases. To facilitate maintenance of complex computer codes such as SPUTTER, OIL, and HECTIC, two FORTRAN analysis routines (FAR, Programs One and Two) have been developed and are nearly complete at this time. These routines are designed for replacement of FORTRAN symbol strings by others, and for compilation of complete cross reference listings of variable and subroutine references. Editing routines designed for specific use with the data-link terminal facilities now installed at the General Atomic Special Nuclear Effects Laboratory (SNEL) and at AFWL are also described.
