Abstract

This work presents a series of two-dimensional mesoscale simulations in which the water content of sand was varied in order to assess the effect on the resulting bulk shock compaction behavior. The simulation results are compared to experimental data from a variety of sources. The mesoscale results compare favorably the experiments. In addition, the results indicate that dynamic fracture plays a key role in determining the overall compaction behavior of sand.
