Wundy Calculations of the Collapse Velocities of a Staged Imploding Cylinder

Abstract

This report describes numerical computations for imploding staged cylinders. The calculations were made with the WOL's one-dimensional code, Wundy. Six different geometries were examined and the positions and velocities of the inner and outer surfaces of both the core and the staging were calculated. In the course of these calculations, a spurious oscillation arose and the steps taken to deal with it are described.
