Notes:
Harten's second-order-accurate total-variation-diminishing (TVD) scheme is applied to calculation of flow from the open end of a shock tube. Comparison of numerical results with available experimental data for overpressure at selected points around the shock tube exit shows good agreement. Numerically indicated positions of the moving shock front and Mach stem also compare well with flow shadowgraph data. Where the problem geometry is sufficiently simple and rectangular gridding can be used, Harten's method affords a good choice for blast wave calculations.
