Sets up a one-dimensional static radiative shock tube problem.
Initial conditions are set as
The four available configurations correspond to Problems 1-4 of Melon Fuksman & Mignone (2019), extracted from Farris et al. (2008):
- Configurations #01, #02, and #03 correspond to Problem 1 (nonrelativistic strong shock), in which a gas-pressure–dominated shock moves at a nonrelativistic speed in a cold gas
.
- Configurations #04, #05, and #06 correspond to Problem 2 (mildly relativistic strong shock), which is similar to Problem 1 with the main difference that now a maximum proper velocity
is chosen.
- Configurations #07, #08, and #09 correspond to Problem 3 (highly relativistic wave), in which a highly relativistic gas-pressure-dominated wave is set up with
and
.
- Configurations #10, #11, and #12 correspond to Problem 4 (radiation-pressure-dominated wave), where the radiation pressure is much higher than the gas pressure in a shock that propagates at a mildly relativistic velocity (
).
