Analytical and numerical solution for the shock tube problem
Abstract
This report treats the development of a shocktube problem for the simulation of flow
1
described by the one dimensional Euler equations. The shock tube problem is an example of
Riemann problem and is a very useful test problem for discretization schemes. We present an
analytic solution and thereafter a numerical solution due to a Weighted Average Flux function
(WAF).
