Abstract : We consider the piston problem of gas dynamics, described by the Lagrangian formulation of the Euler equations for an ideal compressible gas. While a highly accurate numerical solution can be obtained in the interior of the domain through state-of-the-art techniques like WENO reconstruction and SSP-RK time-stepping, boundary discretization can lead to unphysical reflections. We investigate and implement several efficient boundary conditions to deal with this problem without significantly increasing the size of the computational domain.
