  • Abstract

We propose a simple numerical method for calculating both unsteady and steady state solution of hyperbolic system with geometrical source terms having concentrations. Physical problems under consideration include the shallow water equations with topography, and the quasi one-dimensional nozzle flows. We use the interface value, rather than the cell-averages, for the source terms, which results in a well-balanced scheme that can capture the steady state solution with a remarkable accuracy. This method approximates the source terms via the numerical fluxes produced by an (approximate) Riemann solver for the homogeneous hyperbolic systems with slight additional computation complexity using Newton's iterations and numerical integrations. This method solves well the sub- or super-critical flows, and with a transonic fix, also handles well the transonic flows over the concentration. Numerical examples provide strong evidence on the effectiveness of this new method for both unsteady and steady state calculations.

We propose a simple numerical method for calculating both unsteady and steady state solution of hyperbolic system with geometrical source terms having concentrations. Physical problems under consideration include the shallow water equations with topography, and the quasi one-dimensional nozzle flows. We use the interface value, rather than the cell-averages, for the source terms, which results in a well-balanced scheme that can capture the steady state solution with a remarkable accuracy. This method approximates the source terms via the numerical fluxes produced by an (approximate) Riemann solver for the homogeneous hyperbolic systems with slight additional computation complexity using Newton's iterations and numerical integrations. This method solves well the sub- or super-critical flows, and with a transonic fix, also handles well the transonic flows over the concentration. Numerical examples provide strong evidence on the effectiveness of this new method for both unsteady and steady state calculations.
