Conservation equations are more stable especially when there is a sudden change in the primitives. Non-conservation equations have gradients in terms of primitives and this will give huge gradient values. So, in these cases conservation equations are used.
Modelling conservation equations is more time and resource consuming because for every iteration we have to derive the primitives from the flux terms which is an additional step.
Grid independance was performed and 91 grid points were chosen to be optimal. All numerical results are in accordance to the algebraic solution
