COMPUTER SIMULATION OF SHAPED CHARGE PROBLEMS

by Wen Ho Lee (formerly Los Alamos National Laboratory, USA)

Table of Contents (59k)
Chapter 1: Introduction (41k)

Devoted to the subject of shape charge design using numerical methods, this book offers the defense and commercial industries unique material not contained in any other single volume. The coverage of the Lagrangian and Eulerian methods as well as the equation of state provides first hand help to engineers working on shape charge problems.

The book includes detailed descriptions of oil-well perforation not available from any other sources and, coupled with the material flow physics discussed in Chapters 2 and 3 and Appendix B, readers can design the fuel rod configurations for a nuclear reactor core. The equations of state and the constitutive models in Chapter 8 are among the best material models currently available.


Contents:

  • Lagrangian Method
  • Eulerian Method
  • Artificial Viscosity and Shock Calculations
  • Numerical Simulations of Oblique Shock-Wave Reflection
  • Comparisons Between the Cell-Centered and Staggered Mesh Lagrangian Hydrodynamics
  • Multiphase Flow Treatment
  • Equation of State, Constitutive Relationship and High Explosive
  • Shaped Charge Problems
  • Explosive Formed Projectile
  • The Penetration of Shaped Charge Jet
  • Oil Well Perforator Design Using 2D Eulerian Code
  • Appendices:
  • One-Dimensional Radiation Hydrodynamics
  • Thermonuclear Burn of Deuterium-Tritium Sphere
  • Hugoniot Data


Readership: Defense industries working on shaped charge, oil-well logging engineers, and academics using numerical methods for solving equations of continuous mechanics.
