Semi-analytic solutions to the Noh problem with a black box EoS

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: The objective of this paper is to derive a method of constructing semi-analytic solutions to the Noh problem when the equation of state is a black box. Such solutions can be used for verification tests of hydrodynamics codes. We present the underlying theory, the method for finding solutions, and several examples of derived semi-analytic solutions. We end by performing a classic verification convergence test comparing numerical results from a hydrodynamics code against a non-trivial semi-analytic solution.
