A Front Tracking Method for Conservation Laws with Boundary Conditions
Kenneth Hvistendahl Karlsen, Knut-Andreas Lie, and Nils Henrik
Risebro
Abstract:
A front tracking method is used to construct weak solutions to scalar
conservation laws with two kinds of boundary conditions --- Dirichlet
conditions and a novel zero flux (or no-flow) condition. The construction
leads to an efficient numerical method. The main feature of the scheme is
that there is no stability condition correlating the spatial and temporal
discretization parameters. The analysis uses the traditional method of
proving compactness via Helly's theorem as well as the more modern concept
of measure valued solutions. Three numerical examples are presented.

- A MPEG-movie of the simulation in Example 3 is available.
Moreover, we also provide a
MPEG-movie of an oblique shock that interacts with 90 degree corner
of a solid wall.
