Hydrocode Simulation of Catastrophic Disruption

小行星9310564 有了这项研究规划补助金，瑞安博士将研究各种必要的技术，以改善用于模拟影响事件的水代码。 影响行星体生长和演化的一个主要过程是超高速撞击。 虽然人们对撞击现象的一些基本原理有一定的了解，但撞击地点附近的物质如何碎裂以及初始条件如何影响碎裂，一直难以量化。

9310564 Ryan With this Research Planning Grant, Dr. Ryan will study the various techniques necessary to improve the hydrocode that is used to model impact events. A major process affecting the growth and evolution of planetary bodies is hypervelocity impact. Although some of the basic principles of impact phenomena are moderately well understood, how material fragments near the impact site and how initial conditions affect that fragmentation have been difficult to quantify.
