Abstract

In this work, a theoretical framework allowing to extend some general concepts related to the numerical approximation of 1d conservation laws to the more general case of first order quasi-linear hyperbolic systems is presented. This framework is intended to be useful for the design and the analysis of well-balanced numerical schemes for solving balance laws or coupled systems of conservation laws. The concept of path-conservative numerical scheme is introduced and some examples of Approximate Riemann Solvers are provided as well as a general form of a high order scheme. Finally, some numerical simulations concerning shallow-flows will be presented. [DOI: 10.1685 / CSC06042] About DOI
