A multidimensional HLL-Riemann solver for non-linear hyperbolic systems

摘要

This article presents a numerical model that enables to solve on unstructured triangular meshes and with a high order of accuracy, Riemann problems that appear when solving hyperbolic systems. For this purpose, we use a MUSCL-like procedure in a 'cell-vertex' finite-volume framework. In the first part of this procedure, we devise a four-state bi-dimensional HLL solver (HLL-2D). This solver is based upon the Riemann problem generated at the barycenter of a triangular cell, from the surrounding cell-averages. A new three-wave model makes it possible to solve this problem, approximately. A first-order version of the bi-dimensional Riemann solver is then generated for discretizing the full compressible Euler equations. In the second part of the MUSCL procedure, we develop a polynomial reconstruction that uses all the surrounding numerical data of a given point, to give at best third-order accuracy. The resulting over determined system is solved by using a least-square methodology. To enforce monotonicity conditions into the polynomial interpolation, we use and adapt the monotonicity-preserving limiter, initially devised by Barth (AIAA Paper 90-0013, 1990). Numerical tests and comparisons with competing numerical methods enable to identify the salient features of the whole model.
