GnarlyX: Eulerian multi-material hydrodynamics coupled to equation of state and hyperelastic, plastic constitutive models
- Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), Los Alamos, NM (United States)
GnarlyX is a new hydrocode for direct numerical simulations of the microstructural behavior of high explosives at the mesoscale. We summarize the computational framework for multidimensional, Eulerian multi-material hydrodynamics coupled to EOS and hyperelastic, plastic constitutive models. We present 1D verification tests of multi-material only and combined multimaterial and strength capabilities with comparisons to exact solutions of shock states resulting from an incident shock impacting the material interface of PBX9502 and aluminum. We show that GnarlyX performs well in capturing the resulting shock waves in examining numerical convergence with exact solutions. In later work, we will summarize the thermomechanics and multi-dimensional, parallel computing capabilities in GnarlyX with multi-dimensional verification tests.
