Title: Validation of Two Hydrocodes with a Bi-Metallic Shaped Charge Experiment

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/1049323· OSTI ID:1049323

Staggered grid (SGH) and cell-centered (CCH) Lagrangian Hydro are two approaches to modeling high explosives (HE) experiments. HE experiments involve complex flows. For example, the discontinuity in the tangential velocity across a frictionless contact surface. In this work, the SGH and CCH schemes with a contact surface algorithm are used to simulate a bimetallic shaped charge experiment using FLAG. Experiment will be performed at LANL in the coming year and used to validate the SGH and CCH schemes results.
