Comparisons of several upwind schemes for multi-component one-dimensional inviscid flows
Abstract
We present detailed comparisons of three classes of numerical schemes for the computation of mixtures flows. The differences between these schemes mainly concern the discrete coupling between the Euler equations (written for the mixture) and the additional conservation equations which describe the convection of the gaseous species. The best results are given by the class of schemes which preserve the maximum principle for the mass fractions of all species.
