Abstract

Computations of self-similar solutions of the compressible Euler equations as a boundary value problem in similarity coordinates (ξ =x/t, η =y/t) are presented. Two new implicit methods namely the implicit Godunov method and the implicit Equilibrium Flux Method are presented. The Jacobians for the implicit methods are analytically evaluated. In general the self-similar solutions exhibit sharper discontinuities than corresponding solutions of the initial value problem.
