2D Hydrodynamic Blast Wave - SFG-CUHK/scorpio-test-cases GitHub Wiki
Follow the test case in Skinner & Ostriker (2010) and Gardiner & Stone (2008), we investigate a 2D circular shock wave with setting similar to Skinner & Ostriker (2010).

We increase the simulation resolution to from
in Skinner & Ostriker (2010). In the initial conditions, the pressure of gas within radius
is
, while
for the background gases and the density of the gas is
uniformly in the whole domain. The hot gas inside the
the region will result in a circular blast wave radiating outward. Below are the plots of the last snapshot calculated by Scorpio.

Result of the 2D hydrodynamic blast wave, simulated with Scorpio.
The result are comparable to Figure 5 & 6 in Skinner & Ostriker (2010).
