The HULL Hydrodynamics Computer Code

Abstract

The HULL (Hydrodynamics Unlimited) code is a family of hydrocodes at the Air Force Weapons Laboratory. Within the code are contained two and three- dimensional Eulerian difference schemes which are first and second order accurate. Many computational aids such as different types of automatic rezone and library update of problem information exist within the code. HULL has been used to study fireball rise phenomenology, free field air blast, interaction of air blast with rigid structures, nozzle problems, shallow buried munitions, high altitude phenomenology, as well as others. The code is dynamic and modular and allows one to quickly adapt it to a particular problem.
