Chapter Chapter 12 in An Introduction to Scientific Computing, 2023, pp 269-291 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter gives a comprehensive study of the shock tube problem. This universal test case is first used to introduce some basic notions (conservation laws, characteristics, and Riemann invariants) about nonlinear hyperbolic systems of partial differential equations (PDEs). The exact solution is derived and compared with numerical solutions obtained using first- and second-order schemes (Lax-Wendroff and MacCormack). Upwind schemes (Godunov, Roe) specifically designed for hyperbolic equations are also presented.
