Godunov's scheme utilized half step fluxes to solve the original Riemann problem, an initial value problem describing one of these things.
For convex equation of state and Gruneisen parameter less than twice the adiabatic index, these things can be parameterized solely by their entropy according to the Bethe-Weyl Theorem. Godunov's scheme utilized half step fluxes to solve the original Riemann problem, an initial value problem describing one of these things. The Rayleigh Line along which these things travel on a p-V diagram intersects with other curves defined by the (*) Rankine-Hugoniot conditions. Prandtl-Meyer expansion fans form instead of these phenomena when a supersonic flow increases in area. The intersection of the solar wind with the ISM was hypothesized to form the "bow" variety of this phenomenon which also occurs ahead of detonations . For 10 points, name this kind of disturbance with Mach number greater than one, that can generate a sonic boom.
