2D Euler equations - Periodic boundary conditions

Problem description

Circular shock-waves expand and interact in open space. This example demonstrates that AMROC can handle even multiple periodic boundary conditions correctly. See three-dimensional analogue.

Initial / Boundary Conditions

Numerical Simulation

• Two-dimensional Euler-equations for an ideal gas (Air with gamma=1.4)
• Wave propagation scheme with Minmod wave-limiter and transverse wave propagation
• Calculation with CFL-No. 0.8 to time t=0.84
• AMR-computation with a coarse grid of 130x130 cells

2 grid levels:

• Calculation of 218 time steps
• 1 levels with refinement factor 2 is used.
• Finest level corresponds to 260x260 grid (67.8 K cells)

3 grid levels:

• Calculation of 253 time steps
• 2 levels with refinement factor 2 and 4 are used .
• Finest level corresponds to 1040x1040 grid (1.08 M cells)

Results: 2 Levels / 3 Levels
