A COMPARISON OF NUMERICAL SCHEMES TO CALCULATE THE SOLUTIONS OF A NON- LINEAR PARTIAL DIFFEREN TIAL EQUATION WITH SHOCKS

Abstract

In a simple problem with shocks and rarefactions six alternative calculation procedures have been tested as to cost and accuracy. Best results were given by the least elaborate method with the finest mesh and by the most elaborate method with the coarsest mesh.
