TL;DR: In this article, a large-eddy simulation technique is described for computing Rayleigh-Taylor instability, based on high-wavenumber-preserving subgrid-scale models, combined with high-resolution numerical methods.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors numerically model asteroid response to kinetic impactors under a wide range of initial conditions, using an Adaptive Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics code.

TL;DR: In this article, a hierarchical segmentation of the mixing envelope surface is proposed to identify bubbles and analyze analogous segmentations of fields on the original interface plane, which reveals the evolution of topological features and corroborates the observations made by scientists.

TL;DR: A benchmarking and validation program using different numerical codes to solve a set of standard problems to test the effects of material strength, porosity, damage models, and target geometry on the ejecta following an impact and thus the momentum transfer efficiency was designed and implemented.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present results from simulations using the shock physics codes CTH and Spheral of a DART-like impact into an asteroid target, which can be used to estimate the momentum enhancement of the moon from the impact.
