Context <br/> Many problems in astrophysics feature flows which are close to hydrostatic equilibrium. However, standard numerical schemes for compressible hydrodynamics may be deficient in approximating this stationary state, in which the pressure gradient is nearly balanced by gravitational forces. <br/> Aims <br/> We aim to develop a second-order well-balanced scheme for the Euler equations. The scheme is designed to mimic a discrete ...

We present two novel structure preserving numerical schemes for the Euler equations of hydrodynamics. The first method is concerned with the exact preservation of certain hydrostatic equilibria. This is achieved by a hydrostatic preserving reconstruction procedure and a well-balanced discretization of the gravitational source term. The second method treats the deficiency of angular momentum conservation in standard Eulerian Godunov-type ...

We combine the spectral (viscosity) method and ensemble averaging to propose an algorithm that computes admissible measure valued solutions of the incompressible Euler equations. The resulting approximate young measures are proved to converge (with increasing numerical resolution) to a measure valued solution. We present numerical experiments demonstrating the robustness and efficiency of the proposed algorithm, as well as the appropriateness ...
