1. Shock flow boundary conditions There are three types of boundary conditions. Dirichlet BC, Neumann BC and mixed BC. Flows in which Shock Waves appear, are supersonic and do not use the static (gauge) pressure at the outlet boundary. This means that, at the outlet, pressure and all other flow quantities are extrapolated…
