Abstract: A numerical study is conducted to investigate the capability of the
flux-limiter TVD schemes in capturing sharp discontinuities like shock waves.
For this purpose, four classical test problems are considered such as slowly
moving shock, gas Riemann problem with high density and pressure ratios, shock
wave interaction with a density disturbance and shock-acoustic interaction. The
governing equations consist of one-dimensional and quasi-one-dimensional Euler
equations solved using an in-house numerical code. In order to validate the
solution, the obtained results are compared with other results found in the
literature.
