/DFS/WAV_SHA

Block Format Keyword Detonation times are computed taking into account an obstacle. The boundary of the obstacle is provided with an ordered group of nodes which defines the screen lines.

Comments

  1. Node path must be provided in the correct order through an unsortable node group identifier (/GRNOD/NODENS). It defines the screen lines.
  2. Detonation times are available in the Starter output file (IPRI ≥ 3). Each element detonation time is computed at its centroid.
  3. Burn fractions are available in the time history file with /TH/BRIC card and BFRAC keyword.
  4. Detonation velocity is collected from the /MAT/LAW5 (JWL).
  5. Only compatible with 2D modeling.
  6. From an algorithm point of view, all points from the screen lines are considered as a potential detonation origin. The shortest detonation time is retained within all sources which have a direct path (if path from a potential source crosses any screen line then this source is ignored).


    Figure 2. Screen Lines are defined into an ordered group of nodes
    Detonation times are computed for each screen point by calculating the length of the path starting from detonation point.


    Figure 3.
    Screen points are considered as a potential detonation sources (spherical). An arrival time is computed from each screen point unless the direct path up to the target point is intersected by a screen line.

    Figure 5. Shortest time is retained as the detonation time
  7. Detonation times for each element are then sent to the Engine as an initial condition. It may evolve with time due to rezoning (if unreacted explosive moves into the ALE grid or if the ALE grid used to model the unreacted explosive is moving).
