Title: Direct Eulerian MUSCL scheme for gas dynamics

Journal Article · · SIAM J. Sci. Stat. Comput.; (United States)
DOI:https://doi.org/10.1137/0906009· OSTI ID:6250221

The authors present a second order extension of Godunov's method for gas dynamics in Eulerian coordinates patterned after van Leer's MUSCL scheme for gas dynamics in Lagrangian coordinates. The present method performs the Eulerian calculation in a single step by solving Riemann problems and characteristic equations for the fluxes in the Eulerian frame. The authors also make several modifications in the formulation of MUSCL, applicable to both this scheme and to the original Lagrangian scheme, all aimed at making a more robust and accurate scheme. The authors present the results of test calculations in one and two space variables. 12 references, 5 figures.
