Legendre Pseudospectral Viscosity Method for Nonlinear Conservation Laws

From MaRDI portal





The numerical solution of initial-boundary value problems for nonlinear conservation laws by the Legendre spectral viscosity (SV) method is considered. It is proved that by adding a small amount of SV, the bounded solutions produced by the Legendre SV method converge to the exact scalar entropy solution. The proof is based on compensated compactness arguments, and therefore applies to certain \(2\times 2\) systems. Numerical experiments for scalar and one-dimensional systems of gas dynamic equations confirm the convergence and indicate that by post-processing the SV approximation the entropy solution can be recovered within spectral accuracy.
