Applications of the DFLU flux to systems of conservation lawsAdimurthi Adimurthi, G. D. Veerappa Gowda, Jérôme Jaffré
The DFLU numerical flux was introduced in order to solve hyperbolic scalar conservation laws with a flux function discontinuous in space. We show how this flux can be used to solve systems of conservation laws. The obtained numerical flux is very close to a Godunov flux. As an example we consider a system modeling polymer flooding in oil reservoir engineering.
