John,

It has been a while (40 years) since I had compressible fluid dynamics, but
I remember, from several math courses, that there were many unrelated Euler
equations. The one for fluid flow was a linear, first order PDE, if I recall
correctly.

There are many ODE and PDE solvers related to Octave. Perhaps a bit more
definition will trigger some suggestions about how to solve the particular
equation that you have in mind.
