Abstract

This paper concerns the dissipative mechanism in the shock capturing schemes, where exact or approximate Riemann solvers are used in the flux evaluation. More specifically, we are going to analyze the dissipation in the flux vector splitting (FVS) scheme and the Godunov method, from which some pathological phenomena from the FVS scheme and the Godunov method will be explained, such as the artificial dissipation and the shock instability.
