Central-Upwind Schemes for the Saint-Venant System

Alexander Kurganov, Doron Levy (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

We present one- and two-dimensional central-upwind schemes for approximating solutions of the Saint-Venant system with source terms due to bottom topography. The Saint-Venant system has steady-state solutions in which nonzero flux gradients are exactly balanced by the source terms. It is a challenging problem to preserve this delicate balance with numerical schemes. Small perturbations of these states are also very difficult to compute. Our approach is based on extending semi-discrete central...

Classical solutions to the scalar conservation law with discontinuous initial data

Jędrzej Jabłoński (2013)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Sufficient and necessary conditions for the existence and uniqueness of classical solutions to the Cauchy problem for the scalar conservation law are found in the class of discontinuous initial data and non-convex flux function. Regularity of rarefaction waves starting from discontinuous initial data and their dependence on the flux function are investigated and illustrated in a few examples.

Coherent nonlinear waves and the Wiener algebra

Guy Métivier, Jean-Luc Joly, Jeffrey Rauch (1994)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

We study oscillatory solutions of semilinear first order symmetric hyperbolic system L u = f ( t , x , u , u ) , with real analytic f .The main advance in this paper is that it treats multidimensional problems with profiles that are almost periodic in T , X with only the natural hypothesis of coherence.In the special case where L has constant coefficients and the phases are linear, the solutions have asymptotic description u ϵ = U ( t , x , t / ϵ , x / ϵ ) + o ( 1 ) where the profile U ( t , x , T , X ) is almost periodic in ( T , X ) .The main novelty in the analysis is the space of profiles which...

Compacité par compensation pour une classe de systèmes hyperboliques de p ≥ 3 lois de conservation.

Sylvie Benzoni-Gavage, Denis Serre (1994)

Revista Matemática Iberoamericana

We are concerned with a strictly hyperbolic system of conservation laws ut + f(u)x = 0, where u runs in a region Ω of Rp, such that two of the characteristic fields are genuinely non-linear whereas the other ones are of Blake Temple's type. We begin with the case p = 3 and show, under more or less technical assumptions, that the approximate solutions (uε)ε>0 given either by the vanishing viscosity method or by the Godunov scheme converge to weak entropy solutions as ε goes to 0. The first...
