| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In February 2013, a meteorite dropped in Chelyabinsk, Russia, similar to the Tunguska event in 1908. In this work, we try to calculate the pressure using the technique of computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Our idea is to construct a numerical analysis model that can work more effectively even if the grid is much larger than the meteorite. We treat the small meteorite as a subgrid-scale particle with a finite volume. The Subgrid Closure Model (SCM) was used to handle the movement of subgrid-scale particle while maintaining the entropy condition. We calculate the far-field pressure and evaluate the validity of SCM method. The vertical structure of the atmosphere is also modelled, and it is found that the vertical structure has a significant impact on the over pressure on ground. We succeeded in predicting the overpressure distribution in a region of 50km near the meteorite falling location in one hour using a supercomputer with 128 processors.
