Title: Coupling Implicit Monte Carlo Thermal Radiation Transport to Lagrange and ALE Hydrodynamics in the Lab and Fluid Frames

Abstract

Here, the requirements for coupling an Implicit Monte Carlo thermal radiation transport package to a hydrodynamics package are discussed. The calculation of material motion corrections for the radiation package in both lab and fluid frames are considered, as are the consequences of operator splitting on discretization error. We demonstrate accurate radiation hydrodynamics simulations of a radiating shock problem with both Lagrangian and Arbitrary Lagrange–Eulerian (ALE) hydrodynamics in both the lab and fluid frames.

General Relativistic Implicit Monte Carlo Radiation-hydrodynamics

Journal Article Roth, Nathaniel ; Anninos, Peter ; Robinson, Peter B. ; ... - The Astrophysical Journal

Abstract We report on a new capability added to our general relativistic radiation-magnetohydrodynamics code, Cosmos++ : an implicit Monte Carlo (IMC) treatment for radiation transport. The method is based on a Fleck-type implicit discretization of the radiation-hydrodynamics equations, but generalized for both Newtonian and relativistic regimes. A multiple reference frame approach is used to geodesically transport photon packets (and solve the hydrodynamics equations) in the coordinate frame, while radiation–matter interactions are handled either in the fluid or electron frames then communicated via Lorentz boosts and orthonormal tetrad bases attached to the fluid. We describe a method for constructing estimators ofmore »« less

Using hybrid implicit Monte Carlo diffusion to simulate gray radiation hydrodynamics

Journal Article Cleveland, Mathew A., E-mail: cleveland7@llnl.gov ; Gentile, Nick - Journal of Computational Physics

This work describes how to couple a hybrid Implicit Monte Carlo Diffusion (HIMCD) method with a Lagrangian hydrodynamics code to evaluate the coupled radiation hydrodynamics equations. This HIMCD method dynamically applies Implicit Monte Carlo Diffusion (IMD) [1] to regions of a problem that are opaque and diffusive while applying standard Implicit Monte Carlo (IMC) [2] to regions where the diffusion approximation is invalid. We show that this method significantly improves the computational efficiency as compared to a standard IMC/Hydrodynamics solver, when optically thick diffusive material is present, while maintaining accuracy. Two test cases are used to demonstrate the accuracy andmore »« less

CRASH: A BLOCK-ADAPTIVE-MESH CODE FOR RADIATIVE SHOCK HYDRODYNAMICS-IMPLEMENTATION AND VERIFICATION

Journal Article Van der Holst, B ; Toth, G ; Sokolov, I V ; ... - Astrophysical Journal, Supplement Series

We describe the Center for Radiative Shock Hydrodynamics (CRASH) code, a block-adaptive-mesh code for multi-material radiation hydrodynamics. The implementation solves the radiation diffusion model with a gray or multi-group method and uses a flux-limited diffusion approximation to recover the free-streaming limit. Electrons and ions are allowed to have different temperatures and we include flux-limited electron heat conduction. The radiation hydrodynamic equations are solved in the Eulerian frame by means of a conservative finite-volume discretization in either one-, two-, or three-dimensional slab geometry or in two-dimensional cylindrical symmetry. An operator-split method is used to solve these equations in three substeps: (1)more »« less

Parallel heterogeneous mesh refinement for multidimensional convection-diffusion equations using an Euler-Lagrange method

Technical Report Perkins, A L

We develop an efficient finite differences numerical solution for the two-space dimension Burgers' equation, and the viscous gas dynamics equations. Our numerical solution efficiently includes the real viscous terms that model the behavior of shock, internal and boundary layers. First the equations are advanced on a coarse mesh subject to a hyperbolic stability condition. Regions of significant parabolic activity are identified using a new parabolic threshold criterion which requires no special boundary treatment. The coarse mesh is dynamically decomposed and the mesh is refined in these regions. A new biased clustering algorithm is introduced which allows tailoring the geometry ofmore »« less
