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.

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.

Towards the ultimate conservative difference scheme V. A second-order sequel to Godunov's method

TL;DR: In this article, a second-order extension of the Lagrangean method is proposed to integrate the equations of ideal compressible flow, which is based on the integral conservation laws and is dissipative, so that it can be used across shocks.

The Piecewise Parabolic Method (PPM) for Gas Dynamical Simulations

TL;DR: This work recognizes the need for additional dissipation in any higher-order Godunov method of this type, and introduces it in such a way so as not to degrade the quality of the results.
