Two-Dimensional FCT Model of Low-Altitude Nuclear Effects.

Abstract

Low-yield experiments with chemical explosives detonated at low altitude have revealed unusual Mach stem structures. Existing codes employed to simulate these phenomena have been unable to resolve them satisfactorily. During the year beginning 1 June 1979, personnel of the Laboratory for Computational Physics have been working under a contract with the Defense Nuclear Agency to develop software for performing these calculations. For this purpose, we have employed the method of Flux-Corrected Transport (FCT), developed at the Naval Research Laboratory by J. P. Boris and D. L. Book. (Author)
