Resumen

CASTEDO, Ricardo et al. Application of grid convergence index to shock wave validated with LS-DYNA and ProsAir. Ing. Investig. [online]. 2019, vol.39, n.3, pp.20-26. ISSN 0120-5609.  https://doi.org/10.15446/ing.investig.v39n3.81380.

The discretization error is not always calculated, even though it is essential for the studies of computational solid mechanics. However, it is well known that an error committed by the mesh used can be as large as the measured variable, which greatly invalidates the results obtained. The grid convergence index (GCI) method makes possible to determine on a solid basis, the order of convergence and the asymptotic solution. This method seems to be a suitable estimator despite further research is needed in the context of blast situations and finite element (FE) calculations. For this purpose, field trials were performed consisting in the detonation of a spherical hanging load of homemade explosive. The pressure generated by the shock wave was measured in different positions at two distances. With these data, a TNT equivalent has been obtained and used to calculate the shock propagation with the solvers LS-DYNA and ProsAir. This work aims to verify the GCI method by comparing its results with field data along with the simulations carried out. The comparison also seeks to validate the methodology used to obtain the TNT equivalent.

This research shows that the GCI gives good results for both solvers despite the complexity of the physical problem. Besides, LS-DYNA displays better correlation with the experimental data than the ProsAir results, with an error of less than 10% in all values.
