NUMERICAL MODELING OF MOON ASTEROID IMPACTS TSUNAMIS ON THE MOON

Asteroid impacts on the moon were modeled using the full Navier-Stokes AMR. Eulerian compressible hydrodynamic code called MAGNS. The size of the cavity and its time history are strongly dependent upon the strength characteristics of the moon rock. The initial impact pressures and temperatures are...
