The code ppm.f, and its include file ppm.dek, implements a 1D PPM hydrodynamics solver.
While the Sod problem has become a standard test case for hydrodynamics codes it isn't a very discriminating test for modern codes. The strong shock tube problem below is a more demanding test problem, because of the stronger discontinuities across the shock interface and the narrow density peak that forms behind the shock. The code sets the initial density to 10 on the left, and 1 on the right. The initial pressure is set to 100 on the left, and 1 on the right. The PPM solution and the exact solution to the exact Riemann solution at 0.4 s is compared below.

Please cite the relevant references if you publish a piece of work that use these codes, pieces of these codes, or modified versions of them. If you're nice, offer co-authorship of the publication. At best, you'll love these programs so much that you'll send great wads of cash to me.
