title = "Numerical simulation of hydro- and magnetohydrodynamic processes in the Muon Collider target",
abstract = "We have developed numerical methods and performed numerical simulations of the proposed Muon Collider target. The target will be designed as a pulsed jet of mercury interacting with strong proton beams in a 20 Tesla magnetic field. A numerical approach based on the method of front tracking for numerical simulation of magnetohydrodynamic flows in discontinuous media was implemented in FronTier, a hydrodynamics code with free interface support. The FronTier-MHD code was used to study the evolution of the mercury jet in the target magnet system. To model accurately the interaction of the mercury target with proton pulses, a realistic equation of state for mercury was created in a wide temperature - pressure domain. The mercury target - proton pulse interaction was simulated during 120 microseconds. Simulations predict that the mercury target will be broken into a set of droplets with velocities in the range 20 - 60 m/sec.",
