The aim of this paper is to present a new kind of numerical processing for hyperbolic systems of conservation laws with source terms. This is achieved by means of a non-conservative reformulation of the zero-order terms of the right-hand side of the equations. In this context, we decided to use the results of Dal Maso, Le Floch and Murat about non-conservative products, and the generalized Roe matrices introduced by Toumi to derive a first-order linearized well-balanced scheme in the sense of Greenberg and Le Roux. As a main feature, this approach is able to preserve the right asymptotic behavior of the original inhomogeneous system, which is not an obvious property. Numerical results for the Euler equations are shown to handle correctly these equilibria in various situations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
