Contributions summary:Mrinalgouda implemented an exact Riemann solver for gas dynamics, adding a new Python module to the project that computes solutions to Riemann problems, a core component of the fluid dynamics simulations within the framework. They also integrated this solver into an existing shock tube setup, enhancing the validation capabilities of the project. Furthermore, the user fixed and improved several example files for different gas dynamics problems by applying pep8 formatting and adding command line arguments for increased flexibility. The user’s contributions primarily centered around the mathematical and computational aspects of the project.
