Entropy stable flux correction for hydrostatic reconstruction scheme for shallow water flows (Q6123345)

The author presents a flux correction design for a hybrid scheme to obtain an entropy-stable solution of shallow water equations with variable topography. The hybrid scheme is an explicit HR (hydrostatic reconstruction) scheme whose numerical flux is a convex combination of a first-order Rusanov flux and a high-order flux. The flux limiters for the hybrid scheme can be an exact or approximate solution to the corresponding optimization problem in which constraints valid for the first-order HR scheme are applied to the hybrid scheme. It is proved that in the vicinity of a numerical solution of the first-order HR scheme, there is a unique flux correction with flux limiters that are the proposed approximate solution to the optimization problem. Some numerical results are presented to show the efficiency of the HR scheme.
