A METHOD FOR COMPUTING THE INTERACTION OF TWO SPHERICAL BLAST WAVES

Abstract

The artificial viscosity method of von Neumann and Richtmyer for numerical solution of the partial differential equations of fluid flow is used to obtain a scheme for the numerical calculation of the interaction of two spherical blast waves in air.
