A new Lagrangian method for steady supersonic flow computation. II: Slip- line resolution (Q1206591)

[For part I see the authors, J. Comput. Phys. 89, No. 1, 207-240 (1990; Zbl 0698.76067).] We show theoretically and numerically that the first-order Godunov scheme based on the new Lagrangian formulation of the first author and \textit{H. J. van Roessel} [J. Appl. Math. Phys. 40, 677ff (1989)] for steady supersonic flow always resolves an isolated slip-line discontinuity crisply, provided it is initially aligned with a grid line. Moreover, a simple extension of the second-order scalar TVD scheme of \textit{P. K. Sweby} [SIAM J. Numer. Anal. 21, 995-1011 (1984; Zbl 0565.65048)] to the system of Euler equations based on the new Lagrangian formulation, with no special procedure for slip-line detection, resolves slip-line discontinuities in at most two grid points. Many examples are given, showing excellent agreement with known exact solutions.
