Five-wave shock-tube problem. The profiles of density at t = 0.06 ms computed by different schemes. The results computed using a mesh of (a) 100 cells. (b) 500 cells. (c,d) are partial enlargement of (b). The solid line represents the exact solution. In (b–d), the symbols are plotted with a spacing of 4 cells.
