What is it about?

CFD allows to compute flows characterized by the presence of shock-waves. Post-processing tools allow make shock-waves visible to the human eye, but: how do we automatically detect the shape of a discontinuity such as a shock-wave?

Why is it important?

Most of the methods used in the literature use local criteria to detect shock-waves. This approach often gives rise to false positive. The approach that we propose relies on a "global" view of the flow-field.

Perspectives

This "global" approach can be useful for post-processing, but also important if shock-waves are "fitted", rather than "captured".
