About verification of calculation methods of the shock waves

Reporter: Shestakovskaya E.

The exact solution of the problem of focusing spherically symmetric shock waves in a gas sphere of the finite size was obtained to verify the numerical methods for the calculation of shock waves and expansion waves. For Lagrangian coordinates the problem is first solved. It is fundamentally different from previously known formulations of similar problems, which was built up for the infinite area in Euler coordinates.
