✦ Synopsis

Composite schemes are formed by global composition of several Lax -Wendroff steps followed by a diffusive Lax-Friedrichs or WENO step, which filters out the oscillations around shocks typical for the Lax-Wendroff scheme. These schemes are applied to the shallow water equations in two dimensions. The Lax-Friedrichs composite is also formulated for a trapezoidal mesh, which is necessary in several example problems. The suitability of the composite schemes for the shallow water equations is demonstrated on several examples, including the circular dam break problem, the shock focusing problem and supercritical channel flow problems.

A multidimensional discretisation of the shallow water equations governing unsteady free-surface flow is proposed. The method, based on a residual distribution discretisation, relies on a characteristic eigenvector decomposition of each cell residual, and the use of appropriate distribution schemes.
