✦ Synopsis


The equations of RFD can be written as a hyperbolic system of conservation laws by choosing an appropriate vector of unknowns. We give an explicit formulation of the full spectral decomposition of the Jacobian matrices associated with the fluxes in each spatial direction, which is the essential ingredient of the techniques we propose in this paper. These techniques are based on the recently derived flux formula of Marquina, a new way to compute the numerical flux at a cell interface which leads to a conservative, upwind numerical scheme. Using the spectral decompositions in a fundamental way, we construct high order versions of the basic first-order scheme described by R. Donat and A. Marquina in (J. Comput. Phys. 125, 42 (1996)) and test their performance in several standard simulations in one dimension. Two-dimensional simulations include a wind tunnel with a flat faced step and a supersonic jet stream, both of them in strongly ultrarelativistic regimes.

In the present work, a recently proposed flux-splitting scheme suitable for compressible flow is extended to incompressible flows. Appropriate dissipation terms for both incompressible and compressible flows are determined by expanding the Roe flux-difference splitting in terms of Mach number. Analy

In this paper we deal with the construction of hybrid flux-vector-splitting (FVS) schemes and flux-difference-splitting (FDS) schemes for a two-phase model for onedimensional flow. The model consists of two mass conservation equations (one for each phase) and a common momentum equation. The complexi

The method of operator splitting is applied to an advection-diffusion model as it occurs in a pulse tube. Firstly, the governing equations of the simplified model are studied and the mathematical description is derived. Then the splitting approach is used to separate the advection and the diffusion
