Godunov-Type Methods for Conservation Laws with a Flux Function Discontinuous in Space
نویسندگان
چکیده
Abstract. Scalar conservation laws with a flux function discontinuous in space are approximated using a Godunov-type method for which a convergence theorem is proved. The case where the flux functions at the interface intersect is emphasized. A very simple formula is given for the interface flux. A numerical comparison between the Godunov numerical flux and the upstream mobility flux is presented for two-phase flow in porous media. A consequence of the convergence theorem is an existence theorem for the solution of the scalar conservation laws under consideration. Furthermore, for regular solutions, uniqueness has been shown.

Applications of the DFLU flux to systems of conservation laws
The DFLU numerical flux was introduced in order to solve hyperbolic scalar conservation laws with a flux function discontinuous in space. We show how this flux can be used to solve systems of conservation laws. The obtained numerical flux is very close to a Godunov flux. As an example we consider a system modeling polymer flooding in oil reservoir engineering. Key-words: Finite volumes, finite ...
متن کاملThe Godunov scheme for scalar conservation laws with discontinuous bell-shaped flux functions
We consider hyperbolic scalar conservation laws with discontinuous flux function of the type ∂tu+ ∂xf(x, u) = 0 with f(x, u) = fL(u)1 R−(x) + fR(u)1 R+(x). Here fL,R are compatible bell-shaped flux functions as appear in numerous applications. In [1] and [2], it was shown that several notions of solution make sense, according to a choice of the so-called (A,B)-connection. In this note, we remar...
متن کاملWell-balanced schemes for conservation laws with source terms based on a local discontinuous flux formulation
We propose and analyze a finite volume scheme of the Godunov type for conservation laws with source terms that preserve discrete steady states. The scheme works in the resonant regime as well as for problems with discontinuous flux. Moreover, an additional modification of the scheme is not required to resolve transients, and solutions of nonlinear algebraic equations are not involved. Our well-...
متن کاملHigher Order Godunov Methods for General Systems of Hyperbolic Conservation Laws
We describe an extension of higher order Godunov methods to general systems of hyper-bolic conservation laws. This extension allow the method to be applied to problems that are not strictly hyperbolic and exhibit local linear degeneracies in the wave tields. The method constructs an approximation of the Riemann problem from local wave information. A generalization of the Engquist-Osher flux for...
متن کاملConvergence of Godunov type methods for a conservation law with a spatially varying discontinuous flux function
We deal with single conservation laws with a spatially varying and possibly discontinuous coefficient. This equation includes as a special case single conservation laws with conservative and possibly singular source terms. We extend the framework of optimal entropy solutions for these classes of equations based on a two-step approach. In the first step, an interface connection vector is used to...
