Sedov explosion problem

The Sedov explosion problem (Sedov 1959) involves the self-similar evolution of a cylindrical or spherical blast wave from a delta-function initial pressure perturbation in an otherwise homogeneous medium.

Physics

Geometries
1D spherical; 1/2/3D Cartesian.

Parameters
p_ambient = 1E-5; rho_ambient = 1; exp_energy = 1; gamma = 1.4
