FLEXO: A Portably Performant Code for Pulsed Power Target Physics

Stagg, Alan K.; Adams, Marissa B.P.; Bond, Stephen D.; Bova, Steven W.; Cearley, Griffin S.; Cochrane, Kyle; Crockatt, Michael M.; Gardiner, Thomas A.; Granzow, Brian N.; Hamlin, Nathaniel D.; Martin, Matthew R.; Shulenburger, Luke N.; Voth, Thomas E.; Weis, Matthew R.; Woolstrum, Jeffrey M.; Yusuf, Nedim A.

FLEXO (Flux-Limited Extended-MHD Ohm's Law) is a production-line multiphysics code developed at Sandia to enable more predictive modeling of target physics on pulsed-power devices. FLEXO uses an extended magnetohydrodynamics (XMHD) model which includes a generalized Ohm's law (GOL), an electron inertia term, and Hall physics. This report describes the code's numerical methods, its computational performance, and test problems of interest.

ALEGRA is a multiphysics finite-element shock hydrodynamics code, under development at Sandia National Laboratories since 1990. Fully coupled multiphysics capabilities include transient magnetics, magnetohydrodynamics, electromechanics, and radiation transport. Importantly, ALEGRA is used to study hypervelocity impact, pulsed power devices, and radiation effects. The breadth of physics represented in ALEGRA is outlined here, along with simulated results for a selected hypervelocity impact experiment.
