Ying CAI, Cunbo ZHANG, Xu LIU, Zhengfeng FAN, Yuanyuan LIU, Xiaowen XU, Aiqing ZHANG
Chinese Journal of Computational Physics    2022, 39 (2): 143-152.   DOI: 10.19596/j.cnki.1001-246x.8381

Targeting at SN algorithm for the neutron transport equation in the two-dimensional spherical coordinate system, we propose a directed graph model based on a (cell, direction) two-tuple, and design a multi-level parallel SN algorithm with controllable granularity on the basis of the existing parallel pipeline algorithm based on directed graph. Among them, a combination of domain decomposition and parallel pipeline is used to mine parallelism in the space-angle direction, and an energy group pipeline parallel method is proposed. Furthermore, by setting appropriate pipeline granularity, the overhead of scheduling, communication and idle waiting are well balanced. Experimental results show that the algorithm can effectively solve the neutron transport equation in the two-dimensional spherical coordinate system. For a typical neutron transport problem with 960 000 grids, 60 directions, 24 energy groups, and billions of degrees of freedom, the parallel program achieved 71% parallel efficiency on 1920 cores of a domestic parallel machine.

ZHOU Zhichao, XU Lingfei, REN Tianrong, GU Cunfeng
CHINESE JOURNAL OF COMPUTATIONAL PHYSICS    2020, 37 (3): 284-298.   DOI: 10.19596/j.cnki.1001-246x.8065
Abstract412)   HTML3)    PDF (27207KB)(1398)      
Supersonic compression ramp flow is studied. Based on Rytov approximation, a generalized convolution-fast Fourier transform (GCV-FFT) method is used to solve directly Helmholtz equation in inhomogeneous medium. Scattering field of the laser beam and complex amplitude distribution of diffracted field are obtained. Aero-optical parameters including light intensity, optical path difference, Strehl ratio, relative light intensity, beam centroid position and effective beam width are given. It can be seen that the laser beam is transmitted in the turbulent flow field, and the light intensity distribution appears gradually undulates and deviates. As passing through flow field, the beam produces a large degree of distortion, deviation and breakage due to the effect of diffraction. Effect of flow field in compressed ramp region on beam quality is significantly greater than that in fully developed turbulent region. From distribution of relative light intensity, the beam breakage seems to be related to small-scale coherent structure of flow field. The error of Strehl ratio obtained by traditional OPD mean square error or weighted mean square error estimation is greater. More accurate method should be evaluated with PSF method.

Analysis of Impact Load on Elastic Plate in Underwater Explosions with Modified Ghost Fluid Method
XU Liang, FENG Chengliang, LIU Tiegang
CHINESE JOURNAL OF COMPUTATIONAL PHYSICS    2017, 34 (1): 1-9.  
Abstract538)   HTML92)    PDF (3373KB)(2501)      
Effects of thickness and density of plate on impact load and cavitation evolution in non-contact underwater explosions are investigated.A modified ghost fluid method developed recently is extended to treat nonlinear interaction between compressible flow and elastic plate.With assumption that fracture of a plate does not occur, it discloses that relatively small thickness or density of plate weakens impact of blast wave on structure.Impact load tends to result of rigid wall boundary nonlinearly with increase of thickness or density.Furthermore, smaller thickness or density causes cavitation to occur earlier and creates a larger cavitation region.It delays and weakens secondary impact on structure induced by cavitation collapse as well.

Design Principles of Ghost Fluid Method
XU Liang, FENG Chengliang, LIU Tiegang
CHINESE JOURNAL OF COMPUTATIONAL PHYSICS    2016, 33 (6): 671-680.  
Abstract445)   HTML0)    PDF (3574KB)(1387)      
By analyzing ghost fluid method for compressible multi-medium flows, fundamentals for defining ghost fluid state with a general equation of state are described. All possible definitions of ghost fluid states are derived according to wave patterns and free variables in ghost fluid region. Following these treatments, it reveals that solution of multi-medium Riemann problem can be obtained exactly in theory. Several simple but effective definitions independent with wave patterns in ghost fluid region, are further summarized. One of these ways is similar to reflective boundary condition. An essential prerequisite is that interfacial velocity must be predicted exactly. Numerical results show that this methodology indeed works reasonably for multi-medium flows.

CHINESE JOURNAL OF COMPUTATIONAL PHYSICS    1998, 15 (2): 139-146.  
Abstract296)      PDF (289KB)(1225)      
A two-dimensional relativistic electromagnetic particle simulation code (2DCIC) is presented. The charge and current densities are computed self-consistently using Maxwell's equations, relativistic motion equations of electrons and Newton's equations of ions by tracking 104-106 simulated particles. some details of wave wave and wave particle interaction are also studied together with the evolution of instability as time. Laser light impinges obliquely (or normally) on plasma, which has a density gradient (or homogeneous density). To save computational time, the parallel computational method is developed. Using this code, the ultrashort intense pulse laser plasma interaction and other plasma problems can be also studied by modifying parameters of physical model. After a lot of test computation, plasma equilibrium and propagation of ultrashort intense pulse laser in plasma are studied. The computed physical picture is reasonable.
