Laser ray tracing in a parallel arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian adaptive mesh refinement hydrocode

چکیده
ALE-AMR is a new hydrocode that we are developing as a predictive modeling tool for debris and shrapnel formation in high-energy laser experiments. In this paper we present our approach to implementing laser ray tracing in ALE-AMR. We present the basic concepts of laser ray tracing and our approach to efficiently traverse the adaptive mesh hierarchy.

Dynamic Analysis of Geotechnical Problems by Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian Method
In this paper, an Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) method is addressed to solve dynamic problems involving large deformation. This ALE method is based upon the operator split technique in which the material displacements and mesh displacements are uncoupled. Special issues such as time-stepping, mesh refinement, dynamic equilibrium checks and remapping of state variables are briefly explaine...
متن کاملDynamic Fracture Analysis Using an Uncoupled Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian Finite Element Formulation
This paper deals with the implementation of an efficient Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) formulation for the three dimensional finite element modeling of mode I self-similar dynamic fracture process. Contrary to the remeshing technique, the presented algorithm can continuously advance the crack with the one mesh topology. The uncoupled approach is employed to treat the equations. So, each t...

We have surveyed various computational applications at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory to determine future directions for adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) resemch and simulation technology. AMR techniques were originally developed for the numerical solution of hyperbolic equations in computational fluid dynamics. However, scientists are now beginning to extend this AIvfR methodology to new...
متن کاملImplementation of adaptive mesh refinement into an Eulerian hydrocode
In this paper the implementation of an adaptive mesh refinement scheme into an existing three-dimensional Eulerian hydrocode is described. The adaptive strategy is block-based, which was required in order to leave the existing data structure intact. The focus of this work is on the development of refinement and unrefinement procedures that are conservative and preserve the locations of material...
متن کاملMulti-Material ALE with AMR for Modeling Hot Plasmas and Cold Fragmenting Materials
We have developed a new 3D multi-physics multi-material code, ALE-AMR, which combines Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) hydrodynamics with Adaptive Mesh Refinement (AMR) to connect the continuum to the microstructural regimes. The code is unique in its ability to model hot radiating plasmas and cold fragmenting solids. New numerical techniques were developed for many of the physics packages t...
