Hello, PyClaw developers. We are 2 students, in the numerical PDE class led by Jed Brown. We have a project to contribute to the Numerical PDE community, and we are considering adding another notebook/tutorial/example to the gallery or https://github.com/clawpack/apps/. Right now, we focus on using PyClaw to solve the Euler system described in "On the Order of Accuracy and Numerical Performance of Two Classes of Finite Volume WENO Schemes" by Zhang et al (specifically, example 2.2). Another equation would be Burgers' equation variant, again specifically for PyClaw.

We are slowly getting to know PyClaw better via the website. We tested some examples. Still it's our first time contributing to any package in general, We are open to suggestions/directions (e.g. which equation might be another good candidate)!

P.S. if it's not the right place for this type of communication, my apologies. Please again direct where this should be relevant

@MaYeatCo That's great! There are a few things I've done recently that I meant to add to clawpack/apps but haven't had the time. If you find one of them interesting you could perhaps focus on it:

@ketch

Thank you for the suggestions!

We will look into those, they also seem promising!

P.S. still open to directions/general advice/etc!
