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

Figure 39

Conservation error vs. time on Sod’s problem over 5 seconds.

The three conservation errors for Sod’s problem over the first five seconds of flow time, at a time resolution of 0.01 seconds. This graph shows that mass, momentum and energy are all conserved to within about ±6.0e-14. Total mass in the simulation is 11.25 kg, total momentum is 0.0 m·s, and total energy is 27.5 J.
