Numerical Simulation of Carbon Simple Cubic by Dynamic Compression

Abstract

An impact scheme of a slab target and flyer with a layered structure is proposed to achieve low-entropy dynamic compression of diamond. The thermodynamic state of diamond during compression is examined using one-dimensional Lagrangian hydrodynamic code and the tabulated equation of state library, SESAME. The use of a material with a small shock impedance for the impact interfaces markedly decreases the strength of the primary shock wave. It is found that a gradient of shock impedance across the thickness of the flyer generates small multiple shock waves into the diamond and is effective for lowentropy compression. The thermodynamic conditions required for carbon simple cubic and low-entropy dynamic compression is achieved.
