Abstract
In this paper we deal with the construction of hybrid flux-vector-splitting (FVS) schemes and flux-difference-splitting (FDS) schemes for a two-phase model for one-dimensional flow. The model consists of two mass conservation equations (one for each phase) and a common momentum equation. The complexity of this model, as far as numerical computation is concerned, is related to the fact that the flux cannot be expressed in terms of its conservative variables. This is the motivation for studying numerical schemes which are not based on (approximate) Riemann solvers and/or calculations of Jacobian matrix. This work concerns the extension of an FVS type scheme, a Van Leer type scheme, and an advection upstream splitting method (AUSM) type scheme to the current two-phase model. Our schemes are obtained through natural extensions of corresponding schemes studied by Y. Wada and M.-S. Liou (1997, SIAM J. Sci. Comput.18, 633–657) for Euler equations. We explore the various schemes for flow cases which involve both fast and slow transients. In particular, we demonstrate that the FVS scheme is able to capture fast-propagating acoustic waves in a monotone way, while it introduces an excessive numerical dissipation at volume fraction contact (steady and moving) discontinuities. On the other hand, the AUSM scheme gives accurate resolution of contact discontinuities but produces oscillatory approximations of acoustic waves. This motivates us to propose other hybrid FVS/FDS schemes obtained by removing numerical dissipation at contact discontinuities in the FVS and Van Leer schemes.
