Hydrocode Analysis at APL
نویسندگان
چکیده
n overview of hydrocode analysis at the Applied Physics Laboratory is presented. Starting with an Independent Research and Development project that simulated a high-velocity impact test of a full missile, the Laboratory developed a damage-scoring method for hydrocode simulations of missile impacts that opened the possibilities for a number of other applications. Applications of hydrocode analyses at the Laboratory included a study of directed energy explosives warheads against fighter aircraft and Standard Missile-3 impacts against target missiles. A practical methodology for lethality assessment of a missile system on a workstation using hydrocodes and probabilistic methods is being investigated. Other possible applications of hydrocodes are discussed, such as evaluation of rain erosion of missile radomes and flight test range safety. (

Validation of Hydrocode Predictions
A new strategy for validation of hydrocode predictions through the Bayesian analysis of radiographic data is presented. The Bayesian approach allows one to incorporate prior knowledge about the structure of the objects being analyzed and provides the foundation for assessing the reliability of the results. We propose using the hydrocode prediction at radiographic time as the initial or default ...
متن کاملCytogenetic and FMS-Like Tyrosine Kinase 3 Mutation Analyses in Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia Patients
Background: The secondary genetic changes other than the promyelocytic leukemia-retinoic acid receptor (PML-RARA) fusion gene may contribute to the acute promyelocytic leukemogenesis. Chromosomal alterations and mutation of FLT3 (FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3) tyrosine kinase receptor are the frequent genetic alterations in acute myeloid leukemia. However, the prognostic significance of FLT3 mutat...

متن کاملLaser ray tracing in a parallel arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian adaptive mesh refinement hydrocode
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.
