Figure 6: MPEG movie showing the evolution of the density distribution for the shock heating problem with an inflow velocity v = - 0.99999c 1 in Cartesian coordinates. The reflecting wall is located at x = 0. The adiabatic index of the gas is 4/3. For numerical reasons, the specific internal energy of the inflowing cold gas is set to a small finite value (e1 = 10-7W1). The final frame of the movie also shows the analytical solution (blue lines). The simulation has been performed on an equidistant grid of 100 zones.
