Title: A High-Wavenumber Viscosity for High-Resolution Numerical Methods

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/15003408· OSTI ID:15003408

Numerical simulations of compressible flows are commonly based on the Euler equations when effects of viscosity are thought to be negligible. These equations admit singular solutions, even in cases where the initial and boundary conditions are smooth. So-called ''Euler solvers'' rely on numerical dissipation, explicitly or implicitly present in the scheme, to regularize the problem, such that physical solutions are selected.
