Method for calculating supersonic flows in plasmas without using artificial viscosity

In several problems related to the propagation of shock waves it was found that at the beginning the shock wave propagates in a resting cold material, and after reaching the axis (or center) of symmetry the shock wave is reflected and flows in the previously heated plasma. The shock wave can be thou...
