| | 3 | The method I chose for practice writing a higher dimension code is the 1st order accurate, split scheme, Godunov + Exact Riemann Solver to solve the 2D Euler equations for a cylindrical explosion. Given the higher dimension of the problem, new types of waves are present in the solution, namely shears. Shears are passively advected with the flow, as can be shown by combining the continuity equation and the corresponding momenta equations. |
