Simple Python Library to Generate Solutions of 1D Shock Tube Problem

We are happy to annouce the shocktube1dcalc 1.0.0 is released to PyPI!! shocktube1dcalc is a python library to generate solutions of shock tube problem in the field of CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamic).

Support Analytic Solutions and Numeric Solutions Backed by CESE Method

shocktube1dcalc could not only generate analytic solutions, but also solutions based on CESE algorithm[*].

Easy to Use

shocktube1dcalc is easy to use. You may refer to the README of the source code to see how to use it. contrib/compare-1d-by-animation.py might be also a good start for you to generate a animation video to compare solutions generated by analytic and CESE algorithm. Watch the video.
