Shock tube tests with coupled 1D-3D models in EUROPLEXUS

This document presents some numerical tests for the verification of the coupling between 1D and 3D Cell Centred Finite Volume (VFCC) uid models in the EUROPLEXUS code (EPX). EUROPLEXUS is a computer code jointly developed by the French Commissariat à l'Energie Atomique (CEA DMT Saclay) and by EC-JRC. The code application domain is the numerical simula- tion of fast transient phenomena such as explosions, crashes and impacts in complex three-dimensional uid-structure systems. The Cast3m software from CEA is used as a pre-processor to EPX when it is necessary to generate complex meshes.
