Shock capturing and related numerical methods in computational fluid dynamics.
We discuss the definitions of singular solutions (in the form of integral identities) to systems of conservation laws such as shocks, δ-, δ’-, and -shocks (n = 2,3,...). Using these definitions, the Rankine-Hugoniot conditions for δ- and δ’-shocks are derived. The weak asymptotics method for the solution of the Cauchy problems admitting δ- and δ’-shocks is briefly described. The algebraic aspects of such singular solutions are studied. Namely, explicit formulas for flux-functions of singular solutions...
