Roe-Solver Instability at Mach=1

Dwayne · July 6, 2013, 08:34

Hey Guys,

can somebody tell me the reasons why Roes solver become instable at Mach=1? The literature says that the solver becomes a central-differences-method at Mach=1 because the right side of the Roe-flux vanishes, is this true? Isn't it only one eigenvalue of the jacobian that becomes zero?

Thanks for help!

hi
What software you use?

I use Matlab to calculate a one-dimensional shock-tube-problem for the Euler-Equations.

how?is there such program in Matlab or you have written it?

Nobody any idea?

At sonic point one eigenvalue becomes zero. This leads to loss of dissipation in one of the eigenfields. It manifests as an entropy violating jump inside a sonic rarefaction. Look for "entropy fix" to overcome this problem.

Ok i understand, thank you!
