Accurate flux vector splitting for shocks and shear layers

Journal Article · · Journal of Computational Physics
A multidimensional upwinding technique is applied to the simulation of 2D shallow water flows. It is adapted from fluctuation splitting methods recently proposed for the solution of the Euler system of equations on unstructured triangular grids. The basis of the numerical method is state and the particular adaptation to the shallow water system is described. Numerical results of interest to hydraulic engineers are presented. Despite the complexities, advantages related to the use of a discretisation based on triangles would seem to make the schemes competitive with those currently in use. 16 refs., 23 figs.
