Riemann Solvers and Numerical Methods for Fluid Dynamics A Practical Introduction

This textbook gives a comprehensive and practical treatment of all existing Riemann solvers for compressible fluid dynamics and their use in the upwind method of Godunov and its high-order extensions. Related upwind methods of the Flux Vector Splitting type are also included, as are modern centred T...
