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:

    Civilized society is one huge bourgeoisie: no nobleman dares now shock his greengrocer.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    A woman might claim to retain some of the child’s faculties, although very limited and defused, simply because she has not been encouraged to learn methods of thought and develop a disciplined mind. As long as education remains largely induction ignorance will retain these advantages over learning and it is time that women impudently put them to work.
    Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
