Computation of Non-Stationary Shock-Wave/Cylinder Interaction Using Adaptive-Grid Methods

External shock loading on a submerged fluid-filled cylindrical shell

“…For example, Ofengeim and Drikakis (1997) and Drikakis et al (1997) numerically addressed diffraction of a plane shock wave by a rigid cylinder, and considered both inviscid and viscous models. Interaction at various Mach numbers was analyzed, and the effect of viscosity in various regions and at various times was discussed.…”

On the Influence of Reynolds Number on the Mach Stem Height at Shock Reflection from a Circular Cylinder

“…The inviscid result was obtained using the Euler equations and the impermeable wall boundary condition. Details on the numerical method and code are given by [10] and [7]. The background unstructured grid consisting of triangular elements was subjected to local adaptive transient refinement/coarsening in the vicinity of localized flow features (shock fronts, contact surfaces, boundary layers etc.).…”

Interaction between a submerged evacuated cylindrical shell and a shock wave—Part I: Diffraction–radiation analysis

“…(1969), Heilig, G. (1999) and Oakley et al (1999). Numerical investigation of the diffraction pressure fields was carried out, for example, by Yang and Liu (1987), Ofengeim and Drikakis (1997), Drikakis et al (1997), Sun (1998), andHeilig (1999). A number of earlier publications addressed the surface distribution of the diffraction pressure, mostly using analytical solutions of the respective linear problems [e.g., Geers (1972), Huang and Wang (1971); some of the numerical works mentioned presented time-histories of the surface pressure as well].…”
