4. NATURE OF PROBLEM SOLVED

USRHYD is an integrated system of codes used to study one-dimensional transient-shock problems, mainly the study of radiation effects. The shock waves result from the rapid in-depth deposition of radiant energy (either electrons or x-rays) incident upon the face of a multi-layered specimen.

USRHYD links modified versions of the one-dimensional Lagrangian hydrodynamic code PUFF 66, the electron deposition code CCC-173/ZEBRA, and the x-ray deposition code BIGGS as subsets. Improvements include free-form format of input, automatic zoning for the finite element calculation, stored physical constants and other parameters, and an option to specify or calculate energy deposition.

5. METHOD OF SOLUTION

Library, conversion, compatibility, and driving routines are used to link the three codes mentioned and to keep to a minimum the input data. Finite difference methods are used in the hydrodynamics calculation, analytic approximations for x-ray deposition, and Monte Carlo techniques combined with Goudsmit-Sanderson multiple-scattering theory and the continuous slowing-down energy-loss theory for the electron transport calculation.

The minimum inputs are the problem geometry, specifying the layers and dimensions; the material of each layer; the incident energy, specifying the form of the energy and its spectrum; and the shine time of the incident radiation. USRHYD calculates the depth dose profile of the absorbed energy, zones the problem for the finite element hydrodynamic calculation, calls on the USRHYD library for thermophysical and equation of state data, and performs the one-dimensional shock calculations on the multi-layered specimen. The user may input all or any part of his own data if he so desires.

6. RESTRICTIONS OR LIMITATIONS

None noted.

7. TYPICAL RUNNING TIME

About 12.5 minutes was required to run the USRHYD packaged sample problem on the IBM 360/91 computer.

8. COMPUTER HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS

USRHYD is operable on the IBM 360/370 computers using 5 direct access devices in addition to I-O. Region sizes of the various routines are as follows: DATAPAC-4, 420K; EQSBKG, 175K; EDIT8, 396K; USRHYD, 802K; CONVERSION, 115K; and EDIT9, 162K.

9. COMPUTER SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS

A FORTRAN IV compiler and an assembler are required. The three data libraries which are essential are included in the package.
