Numerical analysis of foil acceleration experiments at KALIF

2008 
The present report contains an investigation of the dynamics of thin-foils accelerated by light-ion beams. The experiments were performed at KALIF. Equations of State used in the present calculations is in a simple analytical form. The empirical parameters of this EOS have been adjusted to adequately describe experimental data in one dimensional calculations as well as shock compression data. In this paper we redo these calculations with a moving grid 2D code. 2D computations are much more time consuming then ID especially for problems containing different time and space scales. Efficient numerical algorithms are required to perform these computations. We present in this report 2D applications of Godunov Moving Grid Code to beam-target interaction problems.
