An Approximate Solver for Multi-medium Riemann Problem with Mie-Grüneisen Equations of State
This work provides a practical solver for multi-medium flows with general Mie-Grüneisen equations of state, which is incremental for computational fluid dynamics.
The paper proposes an approximate iterative solver for multi-medium Riemann problems with Mie-Grüneisen equations of state, providing interface pressure and normal velocity. The solver is validated through numerical examples including Riemann problems, air blast, and underwater explosion applications.
We propose an approximate solver for multi-medium Riemann problems with materials described by a family of general Mie-Grüneisen equations of state, which are widely used in practical applications. The solver provides the interface pressure and normal velocity by an iterative method. The well-posedness and convergence of the solver is verified with mild assumptions on the equations of state. To validate the solver, it is employed in computing the numerical flux on phase interfaces of a numerical scheme on Eulerian grids that was developed recently for compressible multi-medium flows. Numerical examples are presented for Riemann problems, air blast and underwater explosion applications.
