This pack contains the main topics in compressible flow with elaborate explanations to concepts such as normal and oblique shocks, expansion waves, Rayleigh and Fanno Flow, as well as the one dimensional sod shock tube problem. Working MATLAB codes are also provided for the user to explore the applicability of the topic.

This report describes how a MATLAB code was used to analytically solve for flow property distributions within a one-dimensional shock tube at t=0.2s, given known initial conditions. Property distributions such as pressure and density were found to decrease with the rarefaction wave from the head to the tail, while velocity distribution properties increased within the wave along the same direction.
