Validation of Ansys-Fluent Numerical Schemes : Case of Sod Shock Tube

Abstract

Summary the study focuses on numerical simulation of shock waves ; particulation in the context of the sod shock problem . it compares the accuracy and computational efficiency of Ansys fluent and a WENO 5 scheme in simulating shock flowes . the results indicate that the WENO scheme outperformed Ansys fluent in terms of accuracy and computational efficiency , requiring fewer mesh nodes and less computation time to achieve precise results . the study emphasizes the importance of improving numerical simulation techniques in computational fluid dynamics to enhance our understanding of shock waves behavior.
