GODUNOV-TYPE SCHEMES FOR HYPERBOLIC SYSTEMS WITH PARAMETER-DEPENDENT SOURCE: THE CASE OF EULER SYSTEM WITH FRICTION

Source abstract

Well-balanced or asymptotic preserving schemes are receiving an increasing amount of interest. This paper gives a precise setting for studying both properties in the case of Euler system with friction. We derive a simple solver which, by construction, preserves discrete equilibria and reproduces at the discrete level the same asymptotic behavior as that of the solutions of the continuous system. Numerical illustrations are convincing and show that not all methods share these properties.
