<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 18px;">I¡¯m doing some computational investigation
on the electrical explosion of thin metallic wire in vacuum with the FLASH code.
I carry out the simulation based on the magnetized Noh Z-pinch. The initial
conditions have been modified according to the electrical explosion of metal
wires, i.e., a metal wire of 10¦Ìm in diameter embedded in a vacuum (the density
for aluminum wire is 2700kg/m<sup>3</sup>, the density of vacuum is 10<sup>-4</sup>
kg/m<sup>3</sup>). The initial temperature is 300K and the velocity is zero.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 18px;">I applied the USM scheme in cartesian coordinate.
However, the simulation will abort within three steps, because the dt is not
positive. I have tried all the provided RiemannSolver. The distribution of
density in the initial stage is set as Fig.1 (the figures see attached file).</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 18px;">However, the velocity and temperature will
increase to a very big values at the interface of metal wire and vacuum in
discrete points, which are obviously incorrect, as shown in Fig.2.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 18px;">If I reduce the interpolation order from 2
to 1, i.e., from MH to FOG, the simulation will go smoothly. I wonder if there
is something wrong with the interpolation modules. Do you have any suggestions?
Thank you very much.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
