Finite Volume Methods for Hyperbolic Problems

TL;DR: The CLAWPACK software as discussed by the authors is a popular tool for solving high-resolution hyperbolic problems with conservation laws and conservation laws of nonlinear scalar scalar conservation laws.

A Non-oscillatory Eulerian Approach to Interfaces in Multimaterial Flows (the Ghost Fluid Method)

TL;DR: A new numerical method for treating interfaces in Eulerian schemes that maintains a Heaviside profile of the density with no numerical smearing along the lines of earlier work and most Lagrangian schemes is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Computations of compressible multifluids

TL;DR: An extremely simple algorithm is proposed which circumvents the oscillations and amounts to computing two different flux functions across material fronts, to update the different fluids on both sides.

An Efficient Shock-Capturing Algorithm for Compressible Multicomponent Problems

TL;DR: In this paper, a shock-capturing approach to multicomponent flow problems is developed for the compressible Euler equations with a stiffened gas equation of state in multiple space dimensions.
Journal ArticleDOI

A conservative interface method for compressible flows

TL;DR: A conservative interface method is presented, in which the standard finite volume scheme on Cartesian grids is modified by considering computational cells being cut by interface, which treats the topological changes naturally by combining interface description and geometric operations with a level set technique.

Fronts propagating with curvature-dependent speed: algorithms based on Hamilton-Jacobi formulations

TL;DR: The PSC algorithm as mentioned in this paper approximates the Hamilton-Jacobi equations with parabolic right-hand-sides by using techniques from the hyperbolic conservation laws, which can be used also for more general surface motion problems.

Volume of fluid (VOF) method for the dynamics of free boundaries

TL;DR: In this paper, the concept of a fractional volume of fluid (VOF) has been used to approximate free boundaries in finite-difference numerical simulations, which is shown to be more flexible and efficient than other methods for treating complicated free boundary configurations.

Approximate Riemann Solvers, Parameter Vectors, and Difference Schemes

TL;DR: In this article, it is shown that these features can be obtained by constructing a matrix with a certain property U, i.e., property U is a property of the solution of the Riemann problem.

Efficient implementation of essentially non-oscillatory shock-capturing schemes,II

TL;DR: Two methods of sharpening contact discontinuities-the subcell resolution idea of Harten and the artificial compression idea of Yang, which those authors originally used in the cell average framework-are applied to the current ENO schemes using numerical fluxes and TVD Runge-Kutta time discretizations.
