Journal ArticleDOI
Cross-code comparisons of mixing during the implosion of dense cylindrical and spherical shells
Candace C. Joggerst,Anthony Nelson,Paul R. Woodward,Catherine Lovekin,Thomas Masser,Chris L. Fryer,Praveen Ramaprabhu,Marianne M. Francois,Gabriel Rockefeller +8 more
TL;DR: Simulations of the implosion of a dense shell in two-dimensional (2D) spherical and cylindrical geometry performed with four different compressible, Eulerian codes are presented and the growth rate of the instability is largely insensitive to the choice of grid geometry or other implementation details specific to an individual code, provided the grid resolution is sufficiently fine.
Journal ArticleDOI
A comparative study of multimaterial Lagrangian and Eulerian methods with pressure relaxation
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared various Lagrangian and Eulerian hydrodynamics methods for two-material compressible flow and found that the tested algorithms compared favorably for averaged quantities and near the material interface discontinuity due to localized effects of the mixture model and interface treatments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Shock wave structure for a fully ionized plasma
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors study planar shock wave structure in a two-temperature model of a fully ionized plasma that includes electron heat conduction and energy exchange between electrons and ions and find that the ion temperature may achieve a maximum value between the upstream and downstream states and away from the embedded shock.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of operator splitting and low Mach-number correction in turbulent mixing transition simulations
Fernando F. Grinstein,Juan Saenz,Joshua C. Dolence,Thomas Masser,Rick M. Rauenzahn,Marianne M. Francois +5 more
TL;DR: Transition and turbulence decay with the Taylor–Green vortex have been effectively used to demonstrate emulation of high Reynolds-number physical dissipation through numerical convective effects of various non-oscillatory finite-volume algorithms for implicit large eddy simulation (ILES).
