THE PARTICLE-IN-CELL METHOD FOR HYDRODYNAMIC CALCULATIONS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4326770
This report supersedes LAMS-1956 and LAMS-2052. A method is presented for solving hydrodynamic problems involving large distortions and compressions of the fluid in several space dimensions. The calculation proce- dure introduces finite difference approximations to the differential equations; the solution in practice is carried out by means of high-speed electronic computers. The characteristics of the method are discussed and these are illustrated by presenting results of representative calculations. (auth)
