Two-Dimensional Riemann Problems for the Compressible Euler System∗∗

چکیده
Riemann problems for the compressible Euler system in two space dimensions are complicated and difficult, but a viable alternative remains missing. We list merits of one-dimensional Riemann problems and compare them with those for the current two-dimensional Riemann problems, to illustrate their worthiness. We approach twodimensional Riemann problems via the methodology promoted by Andy Majda in the spirits of modern applied mathematics; that is, simplified model building via asymptotic analysis, numerical simulation, and theoretical analysis. We derive a simplified model, called the pressure gradient system, from the full Euler system via an asymptotic process. We use state-of-the-art numerical methods in numerical simulations to discern small-scale structures of the solutions, e.g., semi-hyperbolic patches. We use analytical methods to establish the validity of the structure revealed in the numerical simulation. The entire process, used in many of Majda’s programs, is shown here for the two-dimensional Riemann problems for the compressible Euler systems of conservation laws.

We analyze the self-similar isentropic irrotational Euler system via the hodograph transformation. We diagonalize the system of equations in the phase space. We use these equations to analyze the binary interaction of arbitrary planar rarefaction waves, which includes the classical problem of a wedge of gas expanding into vacuum.

متن کاملOn Two-dimensional Riemann Problem for Pressure-gradient Equations of the Euler System
Abstract. We consider the two-dimensional Riemann problem for the pressuregradient equations with four pieces of initial data, so restricted that only one elementary wave appears at each interface. This model comes from the flux-splitting of the compressible Euler system. Lack of the velocity in the eigenvalues, the slip lines have little influence on the structures of solutions. The flow exhib...

This paper is devoted to the computation of compressible multiphase flows involving phase transition. The compressible model is the system of Euler, without viscosity. For closing this model, an equation of state is required. In our context, the model of phase transition is included in the choice of the equation of state, via an entropy optimization of the mixture equation of state. Our aim is ...
متن کاملImplementation of WENO schemes in compressible multicomponent flow problems
High-order accurate shock-capturing schemes are capable of properly resolving discontinuities with correct wave speeds in single-fluid Riemann problems. However, when different fluids are present, oscillations develop at interfaces. A class of existing interface-capturing methods that suppress these oscillations is based on firstand second-order accurate reconstructions with Roe solvers. In thi...

We report here on our numerical study of the two-dimensional Riemann problem for the compressible Euler equations. Compared with the relatively simple 1-D con gurations, the 2-D case consists of a plethora of geometric wave patterns which pose a computational challenge for highresolution methods. The main feature in the present computations of these 2-D waves is the use of the Riemann-solvers-f...
