Relaxation schemes for entropy dissipative system of viscous conservation laws (2312.10915v2)

Abstract: In this paper, we introduce a hyperbolic model for entropy dissipative system of viscous conservation laws via a flux relaxation approach. We develop numerical schemes for the resulting hyperbolic relaxation system by employing the finite-volume methodology used in the community of hyperbolic conservation laws, e.g., the generalized Riemann problem method. For fully discrete schemes for the relaxation system of scalar viscous conservation laws, we show the asymptotic preserving property in the coarse regime without resolving the relaxation scale and prove the dissipation property by using the modified equation approach. Further, we extend the idea to the compressible Navier-Stokes equations. Finally, we display the performance of our relaxation schemes by a number of numerical experiments.
