Abstract:
The paper proposes a cell-centered Lagrangian method for numerically simulating two-dimensional detonation flows in condensed explosives. The main feature of this method is that the velocity and pressure at the mesh vertex are computed using the characteristics theory in terms of the linearized partial differential equations about the detonation flows, and then the velocity and pressure are used to update the grid coordinates and evaluate the numerical flux across the cell interface. This vertex solver gives the instantaneous evolution solutions for velocity and pressure, which is regarded as a generalization of Riemann solver for one-dimensional Godunov scheme in multidimensional flows.
