Abstract

This paper describes the application of FEFL096, a three-dimensional, adaptive, finite element, edge-based, ALE shock capturing methodology on unstructured tetrahedral grids, to large-scale simulations of blast wave interaction with structures. The first simulation applied the CFD methodology to the numerical simulation of blast wave diffraction within the B-2 level of the World Trade Center garage. This simulation modeled blast wave diffraction about hundreds of rigidly-modeled structures, spread over a large area. The second simulation applied a new loose-coupling algorithm that combined FEFL096 and DYNA3D, a state-of-the-art Computational Structural Dynamics (CSD) methodology, to the simulation of shock interaction with a structurally-responding truck.
