Verification and Validation of Two Hydrodynamic Methods for Simulations of High Energy Density Physics Problems

Figure 3

Calculated total internal energy of the Verney shell versus time with 2D xRAGE results is shown in red, 3D xRAGE results in green, and 3D Lagrangian results from FUEL in blue. The analytic solution is shown as the solid black line. The xRAGE simulations used the default hydrodynamic method with VOF at 0.01 cm spatial resolution.
