Abstract

The “ATLANT-C” program developed for the two-dimensional (2D) simulation of problems of Lagrangian gas dynamics is described. The difference scheme of gas dynamics with an increased number of thermodynamic degrees of freedom used in the program preserves the plane, cylindrical, and spherical symmetry of the one-dimensional (1D) flows. The approach proposed provides an improved retention of the shape of the computational cell and the solution of problems incomputable with the conventional schemes. The efficiency of the algorithms applied is confirmed by the test calculations and results of simulation of actual physical experiments.
