One Dimensional Euler's Equations of Gas Dynamics

 

In this example we use CentPack's one-dimensional second order semi-discrete formulation, centpack_1d_SD2, to evolve the solution of Euler's equations of gas dynamics

where the pressure, p, is related to the conserved quantities through the equation of state

with . The solution is evolved over the interval , from to . The initial conditions are those of a Sod shock tube

and Dirichlet boundary conditions (i.e., the conserved quantities take on the values specified by the initial conditions at either boundary). Solution computed with 400 cells and cfl number 0.75.
