Computational Studies of Cherenkov Radiation Resulting from Electromagnetic Plasma in Hypervelocity Impact of Soda Lime Glass

Abstract

The statement of work consists of the following four tasks: (1) General formulation of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), which is the set of partial differential equations that describe the behavior of plasma at the above extreme conditions, (2) development of numerical methods for solving MHD equations including continuum based methods such as finite element method (FEM), element-free Galerkin method, etc. and particle-based methods such Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) and smooth particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method, (3) solving the classical and the generalized Frank-Tamm equations that describe the spectrum of Cherenkov Radiation, and (4) transitioning the MHD software modules developed under this program to interested parties in industry and government in the form of the user-defined material modules compatible with a commercial software of choice.
