The differential equations of fluid flow are approximated by finite difference equations and these in turn are numerically integrated in a stepwise manner. Artificial viscosity is introduced into the numerical calculations in order to deal with shocks. The presentation is restricted to the finite-difference approach to solve the coupled differential equations of fluid flow as distinct from finite-volume or finite-element methods. This text presents the results arising from the numerical solution using Mathcad programming. Both plane and spherical shock waves are discussed with particular emphasis on very strong explosive shocks in air. This text will appeal to students, researchers, and professionals in shock wave research and related fields. Students in particular will appreciate the benefits of numerical methods in fluid mechanics and the level of presentation.Shock Wave and High Pressure Phenomena,2197-9529Fluid mechanicsFluidsMathematical physicsPhysicsEngineering Fluid Dynamicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T15044Fluid- and Aerodynamicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P21026Mathematical Applications in the Physical Scienceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M13120Mathematical Methods in Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19013Fluid mechanics.Fluids.Mathematical physics.Physics.Engineering Fluid Dynamics.Fluid- and Aerodynamics.Mathematical Applications in the Physical Sciences.Mathematical Methods in Physics.533.293Prunty Seánauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut999580BOOK9910337645303321Introduction to Simple Shock Waves in Air2294351UNINA
