A new class of Hermite methods for solving nonlinear conservation laws is presented. While preserving the high order spatial accuracy for smooth solutions in the existing Hermite methods, the new methods come with better stability properties. Artificial viscosity in the form of the entropy viscosity method is added to capture shocks.

In this work, we outline the entropy viscosity method and discuss how the choice of scaling influences the size of viscosity for a simple shock problem. We present examples to illustrate the performance of the entropy viscosity method under two distinct scalings.
