DGA

Modeling detonation waves in nano-structured energetic materials

Participants : Richard Saurel, Fabien Petitpas.

This study realized under DGA grant deals with the development of models and computational tools for nano-structured explosives. Comparative experiments are done at Nuclear Federal Center, Sarov, Russia.

Modeling liquid and particle dispersion under explosion phenomena

Participants : Jacques Massoni, Richard Saurel, Olivier Le Métayer, Eric Daniel, Julien Verhaegen.

This study realized under DGA grant, deals with the development of multiphase algorithms to compute the dispersion of a multiphase mixture in air and its interaction with detonation products.

Multiphase modeling of fluid–solid interaction

Participants : Sergey Gavrilyuk, Nicolas Favrie, Richard Saurel.

This study realized under DGA grant, deals with the development of a conservative elastic-plastic-fluid flow model to deal with fluid-solid coupling in extreme deformations. A collaboration with Prof. S.K. Godunov is also active in this area.
