Abstract

In the present work, we consider the numerical approximation of pressureless gas dynamics in one and two spatial dimensions. Two particular phenomena are of special interest for us, namely δ‐shocks and vacuum states. A relaxation scheme is developed which reliably captures these phenomena. In one space dimension, we prove the validity of several stability criteria, i.e., we show that a maximum principle as well as the TVD property for the discrete velocity component and the validity of discrete entropy inequalities hold. Several numerical tests considering not only the developed first‐order scheme but also a classical MUSCL‐type second‐order extension confirm the reliability and robustness of the relaxation approach. The article extends previous results on the topic: the stability conditions for relaxation methods for the pressureless case are refined, useful properties for the time stepping procedure are established, and two‐dimensional numerical results are presented. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The work presented in this paper shows that the mixed-type scheme of Murman and Cole, originally developed for a scalar equation, can be extended to systems of conservation laws. A characteristic scheme for the equations of gas dynamics is introduced that has a close connection to a four operator sc

## Abstract In this paper, we present fluctuation‐splitting schemes that can capture an isolated shock over a suitably oriented single triangular element and also recognize a rarefaction. A particular focus is on the evaluation of the fluctuation (or the cell residual): a one‐parameter‐family quadr

We investigate the performance of the multiresolution method. The method was recently proposed as a way to speed up computations of compressible flows. The method is based on truncating wavelet coefficients. The method showed good performance on one-dimensional test problems. We implement the method
