Application of Dynamic Virtual Visualization Method for Modeling the Consequences of Nuclear Tests

Abstract

This paper considers an example of dynamic virtual visualization of physical fields in nuclear test sites and modeling of radiation environment parameters through interactive operation in virtual reality. The authors examine the possibility of applying mathematical framework to map radiation field propagation area in the area of nuclear tests, as well as to visualize built model using virtual reality technology. Application of software supplement for reconstruction of the shielding in area of explosion epicenter for experimental modeling is considered. Description of the physical equations that were used to prepare the calculation module is presented. The logical and software architecture of the solution are described. A 3D-scene of the nuclear test site was generated, for which an experiment was conducted using the parameters of the explosion specified by the interactive scale. The work is highly relevant due to the need to define an area and safe zone of deployment of personnel to carry out verification at the sites of the anticipated tests. In turn, there is a growing need to develop and implement information tools to support analysis of physical processes in the area of a nuclear explosion for Preparatory Commission for the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization personnel training.
