Simulation of Shock Fronts

چکیده
We describe a Continuous Hugoniot Method for the efficient simulation of shock wave fronts. This approach achieves a significantly improved efficiency in the generation of individual steady-state shock front states, and allows for the study of shocks as a function of a continuous shock strength parameter, vp. This is, to our knowledge, the first attempt to map the Hugoniot continuously. We apply the method to shock waves in Lennard-Jonesium along the <100> direction. We obtain very good agreement with prior simulations, as well as our own benchmark comparison runs.

NRAO/Socorro Colloq. Abstract
Mergers of galaxy clusters -some of the most energetic events in the Universe -produce disturbances in hot intracluster medium, such as shocks and cold fronts, that can be used as tools to study the physics of galaxy clusters. X-ray observations of shock fronts provide information on the shock Mach number and velocity, and for wellobserved shocks, constrain the microphysical properties of the i...
متن کاملIntermediate shocks in three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic bow-shock flows with multiple interacting shock fronts
Simulation results of three-dimensional (3D) stationary magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) bow-shock flows around perfectly conducting spheres are presented. For strong upstream magnetic field a new complex bow-shock flow topology arises consisting of two consecutive interacting shock fronts. It is shown that the leading shock front contains a segment of intermediate 1-3 shock type. This is the first co...
متن کاملOn cylindrically converging shock waves shaped by obstacles
Motivated by recent experiments, numerical simulations were performed of cylindrically converging shock waves. The converging shocks impinged upon a set of zero to sixteen regularly space obstacles. For more than two obstacles the resulting diffracted shock fronts formed polygonal shaped patterns near the point of focus. The maximum pressure and temperature as a function of number of obstacles ...

A set of travelling wave solutions to a hyperbolic generalization of the convectionreaction-diffusion is studied by the methods of local nonlinear alnalysis and numerical simulation. Special attention is paid to displaying appearance of the compactly supported soloutions, shock fronts, soliton-like solutions and peakons PACS codes: 02.30.Jr; 47.50.Cd; 83.10.Gr
متن کاملNumerical Method for Shock Front Hugoniot States
We describe a Continuous Hugoniot Method for the efficient simulation of shock wave fronts. This approach achieves significantly improved efficiency when the generation of a tightly spaced collection of individual steady-state shock front states is desired, and allows for the study of shocks as a function of a continuous shock strength parameter, vp. This is, to our knowledge, the first attempt...
