Abstract

The authors present the results from some validation tests for a two-dimensional front tracking code for gas dynamics. They study initial value problems with circularly symmetric initial data and compare the results to those obtained by a one-dimensional calculation exploiting the circular symmetry. They also study the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability in the compressible, small-amplitude regime and compare the results with a linear perturbation analysis. Results from a large-amplitude calculation are included, showing vortex formation and roll-up.
