Illustrating how to solve the Riemann problem for hyperbolic conservation laws.

This will be a set of IPython notebooks based around David Ketcheson's HyperPython course, which itself derives a lot of material from Lorena Barba's CFDPython.

As the material is so heavily based on Ketcheson's course, the software requirements are similar:

• Python >= 2.7
• IPython >= 2.0
• Numpy
• Matplotlib
• Clawpack >= 5.1

To start the course, do

git clone https://github.com/IanHawke/RiemannPython.git
cd RiemannPython
ipython notebook

and click on Lesson 0.

In case it isn't already clear enough, the material relies heavily on the motivation and examples of Ketcheson's HyperPython and Barba's CFDPython and AeroPython. Before using this material you should definitely study the HyperPython course, both for motivating examples and essential python coding skills.
