Shock Capturing Methods

Shock Capturing Methods

In computational fluid dynamics, shock-capturing methods are a class of techniques for computing inviscid flows with shock waves. Computation of flow through shock waves is an extremely difficult task because such flows result in sharp, discontinuous changes in flow variables pressure, temperature, density, and velocity across the shock.

Famous quotes containing the words shock and/or methods:

    “Nothing can shock a brave man but dullness.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “The reading public is intellectually adolescent at best, and it is obvious that what is called “significant literature” will only be sold to this public by exactly the same methods as are used to sell it toothpaste, cathartics and automobiles.”
    —Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
