NUCLEAR CRATERING ON A DIGITAL COMPUTER.

Abstract

a ballistic trajectory which determines where it lands. While the ejecta are landing, the upthrust of material around the crater is also being simulated. After the ejecta have landed and the upthrust has finished, a crater and lip are formed which may not be stable. A slumping algorithm is included in CRATER to treat unstable portions of the crater or lip.
