Abstract

Inland navigation networks are composed of several artificial canals, usually characterized by no slope. These canals are large-scale systems that can be accurately described by means of the nonlinear Saint-Venant partial differential equations. However, the lack of an analytical [...]

Abstract

It is demonstrated how finite-volume methods can be designed such that, next to the primary invariants (mass, momentum and internal energy), they also conserve secondary invariants (kinetic energy), i.e., they are supra-conservative. Key ingredient is a consistency between the discrete [...]

Abstract

Supraconservative discretization methods are studied which conserve primary (mass, momentum and internal energy) as well as secondary (total energy) invariants. In particular, the coefficient matrices which are related to such conservation properties are analyzed. This analysis [...]
