Blastwave Hitting a Bunker

Introduction
The purpose is to demonstrate application of multi-Euler domains to failing coupling surfaces. The problem simulates
a bunker, located on the ground that is open at the sides and is surrounded by air. Gas can flow freely through the sides
of the bunker. A blast wave is ignited close to the bunker and expands into the air. When by the impact of the blast
wave, the bunker surface fails gas will flow trough the bunker surface.

Solution Requirements
SOL 700 Modeling
The bunker and the ground consist of cquad4 shell elements. The elements of the bunker are Lagrangian deformable
shells and the ground is modeled as rigid, using a MATRIG. The explosive/air region is modeled by two Euler meshes.
The first domain models the inside of the bunker, and the second one models the outside of the bunker. For the
interaction between the bunker and an Euler domain, a unique coupling surface has to be used, therefore, two coupling
surfaces are needed.

The first coupling surface, for modeling the inside of the bunker, consists of the following facets:

• The 180 degrees cylindrical surface and the two open sides of the bunker. The two open sides are represented
by dummy shell elements. These are elements 1 to 2240.
• The top of the ground that lies within the bunker. This is a square and is formed by elements 2241 to 3280.
These facets make up a closed coupling surface, as shown in Figure 43-1.

This coupling surface contains gas inside, and therefore Euler elements outside the coupling surface should not be
processed and so the COVER is OUTSIDE.

CHAPTER 43

Figure 43-1 Coupling Surface 1

The second coupling surface consists of the following facets:

• The 180 degrees cylindrical surface and the two open sides of the bunker. These are elements 1 to 2240. The
top of the ground inside the bunker is not part of the second COUPLE.
• The top of the ground that is outside the bunker and 5 dummy surfaces of the ground that are used to close the
coupling surfaces. These are formed by the elements 3413 to 4012, 4095 to 4340, 4505 to 4709, 4894 to 7904.
These facets make up a closed coupling surface, as shown in Figure 43-2.

Figure 43-2 Coupling Surface 2

This coupling surface is used for simulating the gas outside the coupling surface. So Euler elements inside the coupling
surface should not be processed and the COVER has to be set to INSIDE. The second coupling surface uses the second
Euler mesh and serves as inner boundary surface for this Euler mesh. The outside boundary of this mesh is where the
Euler domains ends and boundary conditions for this boundaries are provided by a FLOWDEF. The FLOWDEF is
chosen as non-reflecting. Waves exit the Euler domain with only little reflection.
 CHAPTER 43 739
Blastwave Hitting a Bunker

To get an accurate expansion of the blast wave, the diffusion should be kept at a minimum, and therefore the Roe solver
with second-order is used. Interactive failure will be used for the bunker structure, while porosity will be used for the
open sides:

• The bunker elements can fail and gas flows through the failed elements from outside the bunker into the
bunker. All elements of the bunker are assigned to a BSURF, and occur in both coupling surfaces. They are
able to fail interactively, using the COUP1FL entry. These parts are formed by elements 1 to 1600. The nodes
of the failed elements are constrained in space by using PARAM, NZEROVEL, YES, to preserve the geometry
of the coupling surfaces from severe distortion.
• Since gas can flow through the two sides without any obstruction, these two areas are modeled with BSURF
entries, and are opened by using a PORFLCPL entry. These sides are modeled with dummy shell elements and
consist of elements 1601 to 2400.
The couple cards refer to mesh-number. The first mesh for the Euler elements inside the bunker is created and
initialized by:

PEULER1,301,,2ndOrder,111
MESH,2,BOX,,,,,,,+
+,-430.,0.,-1287.,837.,480.,1296.,,,+
+,24,16,30,,,,EULER,301
The value “2ndOrder” activates the Roe solver with second-order accuracy. The property id is the link between the
TICEUL1 entry 101 and the MESH entry. The second Euler mesh for the Euler elements outside the bunker is created
and initialized by:

PEULER1,201,,2ndOrder,101
MESH,1,BOX,,,,,,,+
+,-647.,0.,-1293.,1057.,447.,1293.,,,+

Blastwave Hitting a Bunker

Pre- and Postprocess with SimXpert

This example shows how to use SimXpert for a blast wave hitting a bunker shell. The two open sides are each modeled
by a fully porous subsurface using PORFCPL The flow of gas through failed shell elements is taken into account by
activating interactive failure.

For simulations with coupling surfaces with failure, the Roe solver is used. The second-order Roe solver is used to
minimize the diffusion of the blast wave.
Two types of result files are required:
• ARC which includes the Euler element results
• d3plot which includes the Lagrangian element results
