A comparative study of advanced shock-capturing schemes applied to Burgers' equation (Q1195125)

We have considered several variations of the TVD and FCT schemes and geometrical approaches such as MUSCL, ENO, and PPM. Included is an organized overview and classification of the schemes. Only essential features are described, and numerical implementation is discussed. Much of the mathematical theory is omitted, but a key source reference list is provided. We present a comparative study of these schemes applied to the Burgers' equation. The objective is to assess their performance for problems involving formation and propagation of shocks, shock collisions, and expansion of discontinuities.
