Nowadays, the oil and gas industry is facing a huge financial challenge, because it has been hit by the double blow of the COVID-19 pandemic and low oil prices. This, coupled with the global consensus on low-carbon energy, forces BP to seek a balance between oil business and low-carbon, sustainable development, and began to look for new value growth points to accelerate the pace of low-carbon transformation.
Abstract
Identifying structure phase transformation path is essential but challenging in plastic deformation under high-pressure high-strain rate experiments. In this paper, we adopt a framework based on non-equilibrium molecular dynamics and virtual diffraction to reproduce the phase transformation event observed in laser-driven ramp compression. Our simulation results reveal the detailed phase transformation pathway with atomic-level deformation physics while the simulated stress-density response and virtual diffraction patterns match the experimental observation with great accuracy.
