Two Dimensional Euler's Equations of Gas Dynamics

 

In this example we use CentPack's two-dimensional second order fully-discrete formulation, centpack_2d_FD2, to evolve the solution of Euler's equations of gas dynamics

where the pressure, p, is related to the conserved quantities through the equation of state

with . We solve a two-d Riemann problem over the computational domain , with initial conditions given by

and Dirichlet boundary conditions (i.e., the conserved quantities take on the values specified by the initial conditions at either boundary). The solution is evolved up to , using a 200 x 200 mesh and cfl number 0.75.
