The multi-physics, user-friendly gas-dynamics code Visual Tsunami 2.0

Since the early 1990's, the series of simulation code known as TSUNAMI has been the main tool employed to explore gas dynamics phenomena in thick-liquid protected inertial fusion target chambers. The applicability and user-friendliness of the code was recently extended through a set of MATLAB pre- and post-processing tools and graphical user interfaces [1]. Geometry, initial, and boundary conditions can be specified from within AutoCAD through a set of in-house AutoLISP graphical user interfaces. A novel MATLAB core was recently developed and tested, and is now routinely used with the user-friendly pre- and post-processors [2]. An overview of Visual Tsunami 2.0, the latest version of the code, is presented here. (authors)
