Abstract

A series of numerical experiments on shock loading of graphite between water layers is realized. A simple model of the phase transition of graphite to diamond is formulated. The general scheme of the computational experiment is based on mechanical and thermal interactions of different substances (graphite, diamond, water) subjected to impact by a massive steel flyer in a cylindrical channel. The process of graphite-to-diamond transformation is traced out. The important problem of retaining the formed diamond sample and some favorable conditions to solve this question are discussed.
