CCC7-119 Reactive Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Hot Spot Growth in Shocked Energetic Materials
The purpose of this work is to understand how defects control initiation in energetic materials used in stockpile components; Sequoia gives us the core-count to run very large-scale simulations of up to 10 million atoms and; Using an OpenMP threaded implementation of the ReaxFF package in LAMMPS, we have been able to get good parallel efficiency running on 16k nodes of Sequoia, with 1 hardware thread per core.
