Abstract

In everyday life human faces shock waves and rarefaction largely in their surroundings. Hence it’s necessary to know the behavior of these waves to protect destructive effects. The aim of this work to observe the propagation of shock and rarefaction waves in various dynamics due to solve non-linear hyperbolic inviscid Burgers’ equation numerically. The models adopted here two numerical schemes which enable us to solve non-linear hyperbolic Burgers’ equation numerically. The first order explicit upwind scheme (EUDS) and second order Lax-Wendroff schemes are used to solve this equation to improve our understanding of the numerical diffusion (smearing) and oscillations that can be present when using such schemes. In order to understand the behavior of the solution we use method of characteristics to find the exact solution of inviscid Burgers’ equation. Numerical solutions are studied for different initial conditions and the shock and rarefaction waves are investigated for Riemann problem. We present stability analysis of the schemes and establish stability condition which leads to determine time step selection in terms of spatial step size with maximum initial value. Numerical result for these schemes are compared with an exact solution of inviscid Burgers’ equation in terms of accuracy by error estimation. The numerical features of the rate of convergence are presented graphically. This analysis helps us to understand a wide range of physical phenomenon of the properties of wave as well as saves in several aspects in real life.
