Abstract:
The monotonicity of the CABARET scheme for approximating a quasilinear hyperbolic system of conservation laws is investigated. The conditions are obtained under which this scheme is monotonicity-preserving with respect to the invariants of the linear approximation of the approximated system. The system of shallow water equations is considered as an example. The capabilities of the scheme in the computation of discontinuous solutions with shock waves are illustrated by test calculations of Riemann problems.
Key words:hyperbolic system of conservation laws, monotonicity of CABARET scheme, shallow water theory, discontinuous waves.
