Lagrangian Hydrodynamic Computations and Molecular Models of Matter

Abstract

An analysis is made of the analogy between schemes for integrating the equations of motion of a compressible fluid, in Lagrangian coordinates, and molecular models of matter. Computation schemes involving one and two independent variables are considered, for flows with and without shocks.
