There are several engineering simulation software packages that can be used for blast and explosion simulations. These packages can capture high-speed impact events, simulate fluid-structure interactions, and can model air blast, underwater explosion, and fragmentation.
Key simulation software packages:
-
▶ LS-DYNA: This is a general-purpose finite element software that can be used for a wide range of simulations, including blast and explosion simulations. It is particularly useful for simulating high-speed impact events and can model air blast, underwater explosion, and fragmentation.
-
▶ ANSYS: This is another widely used finite element software that can be used for blast and explosion simulations.
-
▶ ABAQUS: This is a finite element software package that can be used for a wide range of simulations, including blast and explosion simulations.
-
▶ AUTODYN: This is a specialized software package for simulating high-speed impact events, including blast and explosion simulations.
-
▶ FLUENT: This is a widely used computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software package that can be used for simulating air blast and explosion phenomena. It is particularly useful for simulating fluid dynamics and can model shock waves, turbulence, and other complex fluid-structure interactions.
