Abstract

A high resolution shock capturing numerical scheme in Lagrangian geometry is presented for ion beam target simulations. The scheme can accommodate any given analytical or tabular equation of state. Numerical results for a number of test problems show that the scheme is free from spurious numerical oscillations near strong gradients. Results are also presented for the simulation of a typical proton beam from the pinch reflex diode of Karlsruhe light ion beam facility KALIF incident on slab aluminum target.
