Help request on modeling a meteorite impact

[physicistozan]

I would like to learn if it is possible to model hypervelocity impact on a crystal structure (mineral) and see the effect. FOr example, an iron meteorite projectile impacts on a Moon regolith (surface made of plagioclase, olivine and pyroxene). Regards

For example, also can we collaborate to create such map on a spesific region on the Lunar surface?

@physicistozan you mention an interest in modeling this kind of impact. But, do you really mean you are looking for an HPC application that is able to simulate this? Or, are you looking for a visualization and data analysis tool that allows you to analyze and visualize the data produced from such a simulation (perhaps even make a movie of it)?

VisIt is more about the latter kind of activity. VisIt doesn't do modeling per-se (it does do some to, for example, extract stream lines and ribbons from time-varying vector fields).

Now, there are people and software around us that do model these kinds of things. For example, the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission was modeled by Spheral. There was another Earth/Asteroid collision modeled by Spheral too.

Also, Los Alamos has done some work in this area too.
