Hi

I have written a matlab code for shocktube problem using the lax friedrich scheme. However there seems to be a bug in it, due to which it is not giving me the expected results for plots of density, pressure and velocity.

Can someone please help me debug it?

Here's the code:

clear all;
close all;
clc;


R=287;
%Cv=717;
gamma=1.4;
rhol=1;
Ul=0;
Pl=100000;

rhor=0.125;
Ur=0;
Pr=10000;

c=50;
delx=20/c;
delt=.0004278;
lambda=.001069;


for i=1:1:c+1
x(i)=-10+(i-1)*delx;
end

for i=1:1:c+1

if (x(i)<0)

rho(1,i)=rhol;
u(1,i)=Ul;
p(1,i)=Pl;

else
rho(1,i)=rhor;
u(1,i)=Ur;
p(1,i)=Pr;
end
end

for i=1:1:c+1

mom(1,i)=rho(1,i)*u(1,i);
%t(1,i)=p(1,i)/(rho(1,i)*R);
e(1,i)=p(1,i)/((gamma-1)*rho(1,i));
energ(1,i)=(e(1,i)+.5*u(1,i)^2);
energrho(1,i)=energ(1,i)*rho(1,i);
end

for n=2:1:30

for i=2:1:c

rho(n,i)= .5*(rho(n-1,i-1)+ rho(n-1,i+1))-.5*lambda*(u(n-1,i+1)*rho(n-1,i+1)-u(n-1,i-1)*rho(n-1,i-1));
mom(n,i)= .5*(mom(n-1,i-1)+ mom(n-1,i+1))-.5*lambda*(u(n-1,i+1)*mom(n-1,i+1)+p(n-1,i+1)-p(n-1,i-1)-u(n-1,i-1)*mom(n-1,i-1));
energrho(n,i)= .5*(energrho(n-1,i-1)+energrho(n-1,i+1))-.5*lambda*((u(n-1,i+1)*energrho(n-1,i+1)+p(n-1,i+1)*u(n-1,i+1) - u(n-1,i-1)*energrho(n-1,i-1)+p(n-1,i-1)*u(n-1,i-1)));

energ(n,i)=energrho(n,i)/rho(n,i);
u(n,i)=mom(n,i)/rho(n,i);
e(n,i)=energ(n,i)-.5*u(n,i)^2;
%t(n,i)=e(n,i)/Cv;
p(n,i)=(gamma-1)*rho(n,i)*e(n,i);

end


rho(n,1)=rho(1,1);
rho(n,c+1)=rho(1,c+1);
mom(n,1)=mom(1,1);
mom(n,c+1)=mom(1,c+1);
e(n,1)=e(1,1);
e(n,c+1)=e(1,c+1);
%t(n,1)=t(n,2);
%t(n,1)=e(n,1)/Cv;
%t(n,c+1)=t(n,c);
%t(n,c+1)=e(n,c+1)/Cv;
p(n,1)=p(1,1);
%p(n,1)=rho(n,1)*R*t(n,1);
p(n,c+1)=p(1,c+1);
%p(n,c+1)=rho(n,c+1)*R*t(n,c+1);
u(n,1)=u(1,1);
%u(n,1)=mom(n,1)/rho(n,1);
u(n,c+1)=u(1,c+1);
%u(n,c+1)=mom(n,c+1)/rho(n,c+1);

end



%t=plot(x,p(30,: ),'or');
%axis([-10 10 0 100000])


%t=plot(x,u(30,: ),'or');
%axis([-10 10 -150 450])

t=plot(x,rho(25,: ),'or');
axis([-10 10 0 1.1])










Thanks
Manu

Hi

never mind.. I fixed it.. I was not updating the value of energy at boundary points and it was hence taking default value of zero which is not correct.

Hi,
can you tell me what is lambda here?
also can you post the updated code?
