CTH: A three-dimensional, large deformation, shock wave physics code
CTH is a code system under development at Sandia National Laboratories to model multidimensional, multi-material, large deformation, strong shock physics. One-dimensional, two-dimensional and three-dimensional Eulerian capabilities have been implemented first. Highly accurate analytic and tabular equations of state with solid, liquid, vapor, gas-liquid mixed phase and solid-liquid mixed phase capabilities can be used. The architecture of CTH was designed to accommodate other numerical approaches such as Lagrangian or ALE methods. CTH was carefully structured to run fast on a CRAY XMP. It is highly vectorized and multitasked. We briefly discuss the models used in CTH, techniques used to multitask the code and example calculations.
