Abstract

Abstract The kinetic flux vector splitting method has been introduced for two-dimensional system of shallow water equations with horizontal temperature gradients. The scheme preserves positivity conditions and resolves different regions of shock waves, rarefaction waves and contact discontinuity with negligible oscillations. The scheme is based on splitting of flux functions of the Ripa model. Moreover Runge-Kutta time stepping technique with MUSCL-type initial reconstruction is used to guarantee higher order accurate solution. The numerical example is taken from already published article. The obtained results reveal the accuracy and robustness of the proposed method.
