Similarity Criteria for the Laboratory Simulation of Supernova Hydrodynamics
D. D. Ryutov,R. P. Drake,R. P. Drake,Jave Kane,Edison Liang,Edison Liang,Bruce Remington,W. M. Wood-Vasey,W. M. Wood-Vasey +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the conditions for the applicability of the Euler equations are formulated, based on the analysis of localization, heat conduction, viscosity, and radiation.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the Weibel instability, a possible mechanism for developing such shocks, has been generated in a laboratory set-up with laser-generated plasmas, and it has been shown that collisionless plasma shock waves are often driven by collisionless shock waves.
Journal ArticleDOI
On Validating an Astrophysical Simulation Code
Alan C. Calder,B. Fryxell,Tomasz Plewa,Tomasz Plewa,Robert Rosner,L. J. Dursi,V. G. Weirs,Todd F. Dupont,Harry Robey,J. Kane,Bruce Remington,R. P. Drake,Guy Dimonte,Michael Zingale,Michael Zingale,Francis Timmes,K. Olson,K. Olson,Paul M. Ricker,Peter MacNeice,Henry M. Tufo +20 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a case study of validating an astrophysical simulation code is presented, focusing on validating FLASH, a parallel adaptive-mesh hydrodynamics code for studying the compressible, reactive flows found in many astrophysical environments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Criteria for Scaled Laboratory Simulations of Astrophysical MHD Phenomena
TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate that two systems described by the equations of the ideal magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) evolve similarly, if the initial conditions are geometrically similar and certain scaling relations hold.
Journal ArticleDOI
Magnetohydrodynamic scaling: From astrophysics to the laboratory*
TL;DR: In this paper, a broad hydrodynamic similarity (called the Euler similarity) was found to allow a direct scaling of laboratory results to astrophysical phenomena, such as supernovae explosions, young supernova remnants, galactic jets, and molecular clouds.
