NOTE 1: No flux limiters are employed (this allows students to use this as a tool in verifying their basic code).

NOTE 2: Menus will automatically update to show only cases that ran completely through the adaptation cycles solely first or second order. The order of accuracy denotes the stencil used to determine gradients. First order accuracy denotes the use of only the nearest neighbors, while second order accuracy denotes the use of neighbors of the nearest neighbors in calculating the gradient. Also, first order accurate solutions will often lack the resolution of second order accurate solutions, but occasionally first order accurate solutions must be run and restarted at second order accuracy because the speed of the change in gradients can cause numerical instability in the initial iterations. Due to the massive numbers of cases, anything that needed to be run multiple times and hand generated (i.e., needed to be run first order for an unspecified number of iterations then second order to allow for massively changing gradients) was left out.

NOTE 3: Images were generated using Gnuplot, XMGrace, and Tecplot. You will need Adobe Acrobat to view the PDF files, which can be downloaded for free at Adobe's website.
