Abstract
The flux vector in the Euler equations of compressible flow, with the
first-order upwind scheme based on these fluxes produces steady shock profiles

the assumption that there are two kinds of gas particles, equally abundant but
moving at different r~tes: the beams. Per unit volume, 1/2p moves with
velocity u-e and V2 p with velocity u+c, yielding the correct average flow
