A numerical study of postshock oscillations in slowly moving shock waves

2003

Abstract Godunov-type methods and other shock capturing schemes can display pathological behavior in certain flow situations. This paper discusses the numerical anomaly associated to slowly moving shocks. We present a series of numerical experiments that illustrate the formation and propagation of this pathology, and allows us to establish some conclusions and question some previous conjectures for the source of the numerical noise. A simple diagnosis on an explicit Steger-Warming scheme shows that some intermediate states in the first time steps deviate from the true direction and contaminate the flow structure. A remedy is presented in the form of a new flux split method with an entropy i…

Relativistic simulations of superluminal sources

1997

Abstract We present numerical simulations of the radio emission from hydrodynamical relativistic jets. The quiescent-state jet emission consists of quasi-periodic knots of high emission, associated with internal recollimation shocks. Superluminal components can be reproduced by introducing a square-wave perturbation in the injection velocity of the jet. Strong interactions of the resulting moving shock and the standing recollimations result in a “drag” and increase in emission of the latter.

Analysis of the hydrodynamics of a periodically operated trickle-bed reactor—A shock wave velocity

2014

Abstract The relationship describing the shock wave velocity was formulated for the trickle-bed reactor operating at periodically changed feeding the bed with liquid phase. The values of shock wave velocity calculated from derived equations were compared with experimental values obtained for both fast and slow mode of base–pulse periodic liquid feeding and using liquids differing in physicochemical properties. A good agreement between these two sets of values of shock wave velocity was obtained. It has to be emphasized that the relationship (Eq. (26) ) derived in this study enables to estimate the values of the shock wave velocity when only mean values of variables of a process are known.
