Combined Hydrodynamic and Diffraction Simulations of Femtosecond X-ray Scattering from Laser-Shocked Crystals

We describe a simple hydrocode based on a two-step integration scheme that models the evolution of elastic and plastic strains in crystals subject to rapid laser-shock loading. By monitoring the elastic strains during plastic flow we track the rotation and spacing of lattice planes within the polycr...
