The Problem:
Phase I: Based on the geometry and parameters of the upcoming test (PMT and experimental set-up) make “blind” predictions of the implosion and the subsequent shock pulse
Phase II: Using the navy pressure chamber test results, benchmark the simulation/prediction model (equation of state, constitutive relations of glass including fracture rate, etc., all of them being crucial but also difficult to determine even after decades of study)
Phase III: Utilize the benchmarked multi-physics simulation model to design the optimal configuration of PMTs in the detector

The Approach:
“Blind” Prediction (Phase I):
Implosion is an extremely complicated problem
Use multi-physics formulation
Arbitrary Eulerian-Lagrangian Formulation (ALE) that allows the “communication” between fluid phases and solids
Complex constitutive relations and fracture processes in glass. This is key since it will determine the rate of fracturing and thus the appearance or not of a shock pulse and its intensity level (many attempts in the past have forced a rate of fracture on the system until they match the recorded pulse with no regard on the imploding material and its fracture characteristics)

Implosion Simulation:
PMT geometry and modeling
3-D formulation and modeling of PMT, surrounding fluid
Physics associated with glass adopted for the PMT wall
PMT fracture initiation:
Induced during upcoming test
Imperfection in the thin wall of PMT that leads to micro-crack formation and propagation as a result of the stress field until fracture is initiated at the location. Cracking characteristics of the material PMT wall is made of, controlled by fracture energy and how brittle it is (stress-strain relations) will dictate the rate of collapse, which in turn will dictate the intensity and sharpness of the shock or pressure pulse.

There are five sensors at .5 meter from the tube. Four of those sensors are around the “equator” of the tube. A sixth sensor is at 1 meter distance.

What’s next:
Complete these computationally intensive implosion simulations and by adopting them to EXACTLY what the Navy test will be, make predictions PRIOR to the test
In the meantime, attempt to perform side experiments on the fracture characteristics of PMTs (impact and fracture capturing holographically and with very fast camera)
Use ultrasonic system to get a feel as to whether we are departing the pressure pulse domain and enter into shock
Upon completion of the test and processing of the data, compare with predictions and fine-tune the multi-physics simulation model (enhance constitutive relations primarily)
Use the fine-tuned or benchmarked process to guide the configuration and design of the PMT array
