The Repeated Replacement Method: A Pure Lagrangian Meshfree Method for Computational Fluid Dynamics

Figure 33

Sod’s test problem at medium accuracy.

Sod’s problem with initial conditions (ρl, ul, pl) = (1.0, 0.0, 1.0) and (ρr, ur, pr) = (0.125, 0.0, 0.1), with the accuracy reduced by increasing the maximum error metric to (Δmax ρ, Δmax u, Δmax p) = (1.0e-3, 1.0e-2, 1.0e-2) to show how the simulation begins to degrade, at time t = 1.5. The shock is of increased thickness due to the lower accuracy, and is “blown back” from the correct location.
