Abstract
The study of Shockwave structure is particularly well-suited to the time and distance scales accessible to molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. An abbreviated history of these MD Shockwave studies is presented, along with a description of the MD techniques employed. Spallation - the destructive aftermath of Shockwave passage - is caused by rarefaction waves, which relieve high shock pressure at the free surfaces and subsequently collide at the spall plane, causing failure of the material. MD spallation calculations have been carried out recently on a massively parallel computer. Parallel computational techniques are discussed, along with some preliminary results for spallation in two-dimensional model materials.
