A class of high resolution shock capturing schemes for hyperbolic conservation laws (Q2467407)

The authors provide a general procedure to construct a class of simple and efficient schemes for nonlinear 1D hyperbolic conservation laws of the form \(\partial_t u+\partial_x(f(u))=0\), \(u(x,0)=u_0(x)\) where the flux function \(f:\mathbb R\rightarrow\mathbb R\) is convex. The approach consists of introducing anti-diffusive terms with flux limiters. Bounds for these limiters are also presented together with various numerical experiments that illustrate the result.
