Both methods were used to study one-dimensional shock wave attenuation in two-phase flow containing gas and particles. The results show good agreement with experiment for both methods. The Lagrangian particle method tracked groups of particles as parcels and implemented a parcel adaptation method to ensure adequate parcel distribution throughout the adaptive mesh.
