💥 Blast Wave Lab: Sedov-Taylor Shock and Sod Shock Tube

Compute a spherical blast wave and a shock tube live: a finite-volume Euler solver (HLLC, MUSCL) is checked against the Sedov-Taylor similarity solution and the exact Riemann solution.

⚙ Under the hood

Live finite-volume Euler solver (HLLC, MUSCL) for a spherical blast wave and a shock tube, verified in-page against the Sedov-Taylor similarity solution and the exact Riemann solution; pick fireworks, volcanic or meteoroid-airburst energies and ambient density, drag the diaphragm ratios, and watch R ~ t^(2/5) emerge from the numerics. Blender-built terrain, shock shell, meteoroid, glass tube and nebula sky.
