RESUMO

Hyperbolic conservation laws are foundational for many branches of continuum physics. Discontinuities in the solutions of these partial differential equations are widely recognized as a primary difficulty for numerical simulation, especially for thermal and shear discontinuities and fluid–fluid internal boundaries. We propose numerical algorithms that will (i) track these discontinuities as sharp internal boundaries, (ii) fully conserve the conserved quantities at a discrete level, even at the discontinuities, and (iii) display one order of numerical accuracy higher globally (at the discontinuity) than algorithms in common use. A significant improvement in simulation capabilities is anticipated through use of the proposed algorithms.
