Burgess, T J

We describe a hybrid code model of the Sandia National Laboratories' model 632, a very large explosive-driven magnetic flux compression generator. This involves the use of two codes. The first is a coupled 0-D equivalent circuit model and 1-D magnetohydrodynamic computation. The second is the 2-D materials response code, CSQ. This is used to obtain an equivalent ''drag coefficient'' so that the 2-D stator coil conductor-encapsulent interaction can be modeled in the 1-D code.
