We pursue a level set approach to couple an Eulerian shock-capturing fluid solver with space-time refinement to an explicit solid dynamics solver for large deformations and fracture. The coupling algorithms considering recursively finer fluid time steps as well as overlapping solver updates are discussed. Our ideas are implemented in the AMROC adaptive fluid solver framework and are used for effective fluid-structure coupling to the general purpose solid dynamics code DYNA3D. Beside simulations verifying the coupled fluid-structure solver and assessing its parallel scalability, the detailed structural analysis of a reinforced concrete column under blast loading and the simulation of a prototypical blast explosion in a realistic multistory building are presented.

Shock-focusing concave reflector is a very simple and effective tool to obtain a high-pressure pulse wave near the physical focal point. In the past, many optical images were obtained through experimental studies. However, measurement of field variables is not easy because the phenomenon is of short duration and the magnitude of shock waves is varied from pulse to pulse due to poor reproducibility. Using a wave propagation algorithm and the cartesian embedded boundary method, we have successfully obtained numerical schlieren images that resemble the experimental results. By the numerical results, various field variables, such as pressure, density and vorticity, become available for the better understanding and design of shock focusing devices.
