Abstract

A parallel version of the PMMIC-3D hydrocode using message passing interface (MPI) standard was developed based on multi-material Eulerian methods which are more suitable for solving elastoplastic hydrodynamics. The data dependence associated with Eulerian methods was investigated for PMMIC-3D parallel hydrocode. By studying the shaped charge jet as useful and practical numerical example, the speedup of the parallel hydrocode was tested with a cluster consisting of 64 cores. Furthermore, the bottlenecks of the parallel hydrocode were analyzed. At last, numerical results of jet formation and penetration show the capability of PMMIC-3D parallel hydrocode in dealing with large scale complex engineering problems.
