5. COM and NSL for 1-d unsteady compressible flow read ∂t∂ρ​+ρ∂x∂u​+u∂x∂ρ​ρ∂t∂u​+ρu∂x∂u​=−∂x∂p​​=0 (a) For an isentropic flow, show that this pair can be written as ∂t∂ρ​+ρ∂x∂u​+u∂x∂ρ​∂t∂u​+u∂x∂u​​=0=−ρa2​∂x∂ρ​​ (b) If the Riemann variable R is defined as dR=aρdρ​ show that the pair of equations in part (a) becomes ∂t∂R​+u∂x∂R​+a∂x∂u​=0∂t∂u​+u∂x∂u​+a∂x∂R​=0​ (c) Add and subtract the pair of equations in part (b) to obtain ∂t∂(u+R)​+(u+a)∂x∂(u+R)​=0∂t∂(u−R)​+(u−a)∂x∂(u−R)​=0​ (d) from the results of part ( c), determine the slope of the characteristics, i.e. dx/dt as well as the information that is propagated along the characteristics (e) for isentropic flow of a perfect gas, show that if R(0)=a(0)=0, then R=γ−12​a
