One cycle of a composite finite difference scheme is defined as several time steps of an oscillatory scheme such as Lax-Wendroff followed by one step of a diffusive scheme such as Lax-Friedrichs. The authors apply this idea to gas dynamics in Lagrangian coordinates. They show numerical results in two dimensions for Noh`s infinite strength shock problem and the Sedov blast wave problem, and for several one-dimensional problems including a Riemann problem with a contact discontinuity. For Noh`s problem the composite scheme produces a better result than that obtained with a more conventional Lagrangian code.
