Abstract:
Magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) code has been widely used in the field of high current pulse technology, astrophysics and so on. Especially in recent years, with the rapid development of high pulse technology and magnetically driven experiments such as Z-pinch, magnetically driven flyer plate and magnetically driven quasi-isentropic/shock compression, experimental researchers and designers pay more and more attention to the correctness and reliability of MHD code. The verification and validation of the two dimensional magnetically driven simulation code MDSC2 is an important means to evaluate its correctness and reliability. In this paper, the MDSC2 code is verified by ways of comparison with artificial solutions, mesh convergence analysis and comparison with mature codes, and it is also validated by experiments, using magnetically driven one-sided flyer plate, magnetically driven two-sided flyer plates and magnetically driven solid liner. The numerical simulation shows that, the MDSC2 code not only correctly represents the MHD equations, but also can correctly simulate the magnetically driven experiments.
