Impact Simulations

Work

Click here to see some office scale cratering experiments and particle code simulations.
 
Computer programs which handle the propagation of shock waves and compute velocities, strains, stresses, and so on, as a function of time and position are called "hydrodynamic computer codes" or "hydrocodes" (Anderson, 1987).
 
In order to investigate impacts and impact related events on small bodies I use iSALE hydrocode.
 
I worked on probing asteroid Lutetia's interior from its largest crater Massilia.
