Old research pages
I'm keeping these old research pages here for the benefit of anyone
who might arrive here from an external page. They are no longer
updated. Please visit my new web site at
http://sipapu.astro.illinois.edu/~ricker/.
Eventually some content from these pages will migrate to the new site.
Sedov explosion problem
The Sedov explosion problem (Sedov 1959) involves the self-similar evolution
of a cylindrical or spherical blast wave from a delta-function initial pressure
perturbation in an otherwise homogeneous medium.
Physics
Hydrodynamics. Gamma-law equation of state.
Geometries
1D spherical; 1/2/3D Cartesian.
Parameters
p_ambient = 1E-5; rho_ambient = 1; exp_energy = 1; gamma = 1.4
