Abstract

In this paper, a method is proposed for modeling explosive-driven fragments as spherical particles with a point-particle approach. Lagrangian particles are coupled with a multimaterial Eulerian solver that uses a three-dimensional finite volume framework on unstructured grids. The Euler–Lagrange met...
