Abstract

AbstractA recently introduced scheme for networked conservation laws is analyzed in various experiments. The scheme makes use of a novel relaxation approach that governs the coupling conditions of the network and does not require a solution of the Riemann problem at the nodes. We numerically compare the dynamics of the solution obtained by the scheme to solutions obtained using a classical coupling condition. In particular, we investigate the case of two outgoing edges in the Lighthill–Whitham–Richards model of traffic flow and in the Buckley–Leverett model of two phase flow. Moreover, we numerically study the asymptotic preserving property of the scheme by comparing it to its preliminary form before the relaxation limit in a 1‐to‐1 network.
