Title: A numerical study of shock waves generated through laser ablation of explosives

Abstract

Shock waves resulting from irradiation of energetic materials with a pulsed ultraviolet laser source have been shown to be an effective indicator for explosives detection. In this study, the features of shock wave propagation are explored theoretically. The initial stage of the shock motion is simulated as a one-dimensional process. As the nonlinear wave expands to form a blast wave, a system of conservation equations, simplified to the Euler equations, is employed to model wave propagation. The Euler equations are solved numerically by the 5th order weighted essentially non-oscillatory finite difference scheme with the time integration carried out using the 3rd order total variation diminishing Runge Kutta method. The numerical results for the shock wave evolution are compared with those obtained from experiments with a meltcast 2,6-dinitrotoluene sample. The calculations lay a theoretical foundation for a recently investigated technique for photoacoustically sensing explosives using a vibrometer.

A space-time smooth artificial viscosity method with wavelet noise indicator and shock collision scheme, Part 2: The 2-D case

Journal Article Ramani, Raaghav ; Reisner, Jon ; Shkoller, Steve - Journal of Computational Physics

This is the second part to our companion paper. Herein, we generalize to two space dimensions the C-method developed in for adding localized, space-time smooth artificial viscosity to nonlinear systems of conservation laws that propagate shock waves, rarefaction waves, and contact discontinuities. For gas dynamics, the C-method couples the Euler equations to scalar reaction-diffusion equations, which we call C-equations, whose solutions serve as space-time smooth artificial viscosity indicators for shocks and contacts. We develop a high-order numerical algorithm for gas dynamics in 2-D which can accurately simulate the Rayleigh-Taylor (RT) instability with Kelvin-Helmholtz (KH) roll-up of the contact discontinuity, asmore »« less

On an implicit ENO scheme

Journal Article Wilcoxson, M ; Manousiouthakis, V - Journal of Computational Physics

Essentially non-oscillatory (ENO) schemes, which have high order accuracy in regions where solutions are smooth and effectively capture shocks and discontinuities, have been developed for numerical solution of hyperbolic equations. These methods have traditionally been implemented using explicit Euler or explicit Runge-Kutta time marching schemes and consequently suffer from the Courant-Friedrichs-Lewy (CFL) time step restriction. This restriction is significant for steady-state problems and for transient problems with fronts whose speed is slow compared to the propagation speed in the rest of the domain. In this paper, a novel implicit time marching implementation of the ENO-Roe scheme is developed. Simulation resultsmore »« less

An efficient direct solver for rarefied gas flows with arbitrary statistics

Journal Article Diaz, Manuel A., E-mail: f99543083@ntu.edu.tw ; Yang, Jaw-Yen ; Center of Advanced Study in Theoretical Science, National Taiwan University, Taipei 10167, Taiwan - Journal of Computational Physics

A new numerical methodology associated with a unified treatment is presented to solve the Boltzmann–BGK equation of gas dynamics for the classical and quantum gases described by the Bose–Einstein and Fermi–Dirac statistics. Utilizing a class of globally-stiffly-accurate implicit–explicit Runge–Kutta scheme for the temporal evolution, associated with the discrete ordinate method for the quadratures in the momentum space and the weighted essentially non-oscillatory method for the spatial discretization, the proposed scheme is asymptotic-preserving and imposes no non-linear solver or requires the knowledge of fugacity and temperature to capture the flow structures in the hydrodynamic (Euler) limit. The proposed treatment overcomes themore »« less

A numerical scheme for ionizing shock waves

Journal Article Aslan, Necdet ; Mond, Michael - Journal of Computational Physics

A two-dimensional (2D) visual computer code to solve the steady state (SS) or transient shock problems including partially ionizing plasma is presented. Since the flows considered are hypersonic and the resulting temperatures are high, the plasma is partially ionized. Hence the plasma constituents are electrons, ions and neutral atoms. It is assumed that all the above species are in thermal equilibrium, namely, that they all have the same temperature. The ionization degree is calculated from Saha equation as a function of electron density and pressure by means of a nonlinear Newton type root finding algorithms. The code utilizes a wavemore »« less

Strong Stability Preserving Integrating Factor Two-Step Runge-Kutta Methods

Journal Article Isherwood, Leah ; Grant, Zachary J. ; Gottlieb, Sigal - Journal of Scientific Computing

In this report, problems with components that feature significantly different time scales, where the stiff time-step restriction comes from a linear component, implicit-explicit (IMEX) methods alleviate this restriction if the concern is linear stability. However, when nonlinear non-inner-product stability properties are of interest, such as in the evolution of hyperbolic partial differential equations with shocks or sharp gradients, linear inner-product stability is no longer sufficient for convergence, and so strong stability preserving (SSP) methods are often needed. Where the SSP property is needed, IMEX SSP Runge-Kutta (SSP-IMEX) methods have very restrictive time-steps. An alternative to SSP-IMEX schemes is to adoptmore »« less
