Models of high velocity impact phenomena

Conference ·
OSTI ID:7163394
Models of craters formed by impacts at velocities of up to 27 km/sec have been computed using the Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics, MESA, EPIC and CALE codes. These modeling efforts will be compared to data obtained from the Hypervelocity Microparticle Impact project at Los Alamos using the van de Graaff accelerator. This work aids in understanding the fine features and scaling laws found in the experimental results.
