Numerical solution to nonlinear Tricomi equation using WENO schemes

Nonlinear Tricomi equation is a hybrid (hyperbolic-elliptic) second order partial differential equation, modelling the sonic boom focusing. In this paper, the Tricomi equation is transformed into a hyperbolic system of first order equations, in conservation law form. On the upper boundary, a new...
