1wave — I n. moving ridge on the surface of water 1) a high, tall; mountainous wave 2) a tidal wave 3) waves break (on the rocks); crest upsurge 4) a crime wave physical disturbance that is transmitted in the propagation of sound or light 5) light;… …
2Shock capturing methods — In computational fluid dynamics, shock capturing methods are a class of techniques for computing inviscid flows with shock waves. Computation of flow through shock waves is an extremely difficult task because such flows results in sharp,… …
3Wave — A wave is a disturbance that propagates through space and time, usually with transference of energy. While a mechanical wave exists in a medium (which on deformation is capable of producing elastic restoring forces), waves of electromagnetic… …

5Blast wave — A blast wave in fluid dynamics is the pressure and flow resulting from the deposition of a large amount of energy in a small very localised volume. The flow field can be approximated as a lead shock wave, followed by a self similar subsonic flow… …
