Radiative Shocks
Problem Background
This is a study of the oscillatory instabilities in radiative shocks. Radiatively cooled shocks in a stationary frame will sometimes exhibit oscillatory behavior as the sharp velocity gradient produces pressure imbalances that expand and contract. For more information, the references below detail the problem:

Reason for Test
This is a 1D test to verify that analytic cooling is working correctly.
Results
The new chombo can be verified by comparing it to the density in the reference chombo.
