Battle of the Winds

The danger of nearby supernova and the protective power of solar wind

(group 8)

Members: Rashi, Rad, Alex B.

Procedure

  1. 1d: steady cloud of gas
  2. 1d: hit it with supernova shock / plain wave
  3. 1d: add source → turn cloud into wind
  4. move to 2d
  5. parametric study: What is the kill radius at given explosion energy and solar wind strength?
  6. production of the “Battle of the Winds” movie blockbuster

Logbook

Date: 06/02/2014

  1. 1d version of steady cloud of gas created using the following parameters:

Pressure : pcloud = 1

  Density : rcloud = 1
  Velocity : ucloud = 0 
  Ambient density : ramb = 1e-04
- Then we created a 1d shock wave and let it hit the cloud using the following parameters:
- Pressure : pshock = 10000
- Density : rshock = 0.5
- Velocity : vshock = 0
