Computing experience with hyperbolic partial differential equations

Abstract
Three methods of integrating nonlinear hyperbolic equations are considered, namely the characteristic, mesh finite-difference and particle-in-cell techniques. In particular, a practical characteristic code for problems with large numbers of discontinuities is described, and developments in the use of artificial viscosity terms are outlined. The incorporation of certain particle-in-cell features into Eulerian mesh methods is also illustrated.
