چکیده

In this paper, we further analyze, improve and develop the conservative fronttracking method developed in Mao(1995, SIAM. J. Numer. Anal., 32, 1677– 1703). The method in Mao(1995, SIAM. J. Numer. Anal., 32, 1677–1703) is only first-order accurate near the tracked discontinuities when applied to systems of conservation laws. This is because in the system case near tracked discontinuities there are waves in other characteristic fields and they may propagate across the discontinuities. The method in Mao(1995, SIAM. J. Numer. Anal., 32, 1677–1703) treats this propagate-across of waves in a first-order fashion. In this paper, we develop a high-order treatment of this wave propagateacross on tracked discontinuities and thus enhance the accuracy of the method. We present a rigorous analysis of truncation error to show that the method equipped with the developed treatment of wave propagate-across is high-order accurate in a certain sense. We also discuss some matters concerning the application of the method to the Euler system of gas dynamics, such as the treatment of reflection wall boundaries, application to the multifluid flows, and the programming of the algorithm. Numerical examples are presented to show the efficiency of the method.

An Unconditionally Stable Method for the Euler Equations

We discuss how to combine a front tracking method with dimensional splitting to solve numerically systems of conservation laws in two space dimensions. In addition we present an adaptive grid reenement strategy. The method is unconditionally stable and allows for moderately high cfl numbers (typically 1{4), and thus it is highly eecient. The method is applied to the Euler equations of gas dynam...

Conservative Front Tracking with Improved Accuracy

We propose a fully conservative front tracking algorithm for systems of nonlinear conservation laws. The algorithm improves by one order in its convergence rate over most finite difference schemes. Near tracked discontinuities in the solution, the proposed algorithm has O(∆x) errors, improving over O(1) errors commonly found near a discontinuity. Numerical experiments which confirm these assert...
