SUMMARYHigh-resolution total variation diminishing (TVD) schemes are widely used for the numerical approximation of hyperbolic conservation laws. Their extension to equations with source terms involving spatial derivatives is not obvious. In this work, efficient ways of constructing conservative schemes from the conservative, non-conservative or characteristic form of the equations are described in detail. An upwind, as opposed to a pointwise, treatment of the source terms is adopted here, and a new technique is proposed in which source terms are included in the flux limiter functions to get a complete second-order compact scheme. A new correction to fix the entropy problem is also presented and a robust treatment of the boundary conditions according to the discretization used is stated.
SUMMARYThe two-dimensional shallow water model is a hyperbolic system of equations considered well suited to simulate unsteady phenomena related to some surface wave propagation. The development of numerical schemes to correctly solve that system of equations finds naturally an initial step in two-dimensional scalar equation, homogeneous or with source terms. We shall first provide a complete formulation of the second-order finite volume scheme for this equation, paying special attention to the reduction of the method to first order as a particular case.The explicit first and second order in space upwind finite volume schemes are analysed to provide an understanding of the stability constraints, making emphasis in the numerical conservation and in the preservation of the positivity property of the solution when necessary in the presence of source terms. The time step requirements for stability are defined at the cell edges, related with the traditional Courant-Friedrichs-Lewy (CFL) condition.
SUMMARYFriction is one of the relevant forces included in the momentum equation of the 1D shallow-water model. This work shows that a pointwise discretization of the friction term unbalances this term with the rest of the terms in the equation in steady state. On the other hand, an upwind discretization of the friction term ensures the correct discrete balance. Furthermore, a conservative technique based on the limitation of the friction value is proposed in order to avoid unbounded values of the friction term in unsteady cases of advancing front over dry and rough surfaces. This limitation improves the quality of unsteady solutions in wet/dry fronts and guarantees the numerical stability in cases with dominant friction terms. The proposed discretization is validated in some test cases with analytical solution or with measured data and used in some practical cases.
