1D Sod Shock Tube Test

Background on the problem

Wikipedia has an article on the Sod shock tube problem. It is a simulation with defined initial conditions that will evolve in a way which has a known analytic form.

Details of test

This test is run in order to verify that all the reasonable integration scheme combinations are working correctly.

Since this problem should evolve in a well-defined way, any major deviations from this evolution signal a possible bug somewhere in one or more of the integration schemes.

Results

AstroBEAR should complete each of the subtests (one for each integration scheme combination) successfully.

This is determined by the state of the system at the end of the simulation having a relative error with respect to the analytic solution not being greater than XX% .
