Abstract

An accurate solution to the problem of a normal shock moving into still fluid with a density variation is presented. The solution is obtained using a shock fitted approach and Runge-Kutta time integration. Uniform third order accuracy of the scheme us demonstrated. Comparisons with shock captured solutions show that the fitted solution presented here is more accurate.
