Summary

A Shock-Fitting Primer presents the proper numerical treatment of shock waves and other discontinuities. It comprehensively covers various shock-fitting techniques and describes the historical path that has led to the accepted theory of shock waves. The author introduces key techniques using a simple scalar equation and then ext
