HLLC-type Riemann solver for the Baer-Nunziato equations of compressible two-phase flow

摘要

We first construct an approximate Riemann solver of the HLLC-type for the Baer-Nunziato equations of compressible two-phase flow for the "subsonic" wave configuration. The solver is fully nonlinear. It is also complete, that is, it contains all the characteristic fields present in the exact solution of the Riemann problem. In particular, stationary contact waves are resolved exactly. We then implement and test a new upwind variant of the path-conservative approach; such schemes are suitable for solving numerically nonconservative systems. Finally, we use locally the new HLLC solver for the Baer-Nunziato equations in the framework of finite volume, discontinuous Galerkin finite element and path-conservative schemes. We systematically assess the solver on a series of carefully chosen test problems.
