CTH v.13.0

SAND2023-06647O The latest version of the CTH suite of computer codes is a flexible software system designed to treat a wide range of shock wave propagation and material motion phenomena in 1-D, 2-D, or 3-D. CTH has models suitable for most conditions encountered in shock physics including material strength, fracture, distended materials, high explosives, and a variety of boundary conditions. Finite-volume analogs of the Lagrangian equations of momentum and energy conservation are employed with continuous rezoning to construct Eulerian differencing. Adaptive mesh refinement is available for maximizing resolution in regions of interest. Full Lagrangian numerical methods are available for mechanical or structural response.
