The time-dependent Euler equations of gas dynamics are a set of nonlinear hyperbolic conservation laws that admit discontinuous solutions (e. g. shocks). In this paper we are concerned with Riemann-problem-based numerical methods for solving the general initial-value problem for these equations. We present an approximate, linearized Riemann solver for the time-dependent Euler equations. The solution is direct and involves few, and simple, arithmetic operations. The Riemann solver is then used, locally, in conjunction with the weighted average flux numerical method to solve the time-dependent Euler equations in one and two space dimensions with general initial data. For flows with shock waves of moderate strength the computed results are very accurate. For severe flow régimes we advocate the use of the present linearized Riemann solver in combination with the exact Riemann solver in an adaptive fashion. Numerical experiments demonstrate that such an approach can be very successful. One-dimensional and two-dimensional test problems show that the linearized Riemann solver is used in over 99% of the flow field producing net computing savings by a factor of about 2. A reliable and simple switching criterion is also presented. Results show that the adaptive approach effectively provides the resolution and robustness of the exact Riemann solver at the computing cost of the simple linearized Riemann solver. The relevance of the present methods concerns the numerical solution of multi-dimensional problems accurately and economically.

Equations of hydrodynamic type with the equation of state in the form of pressure separated into a sum of density and entropy functions are considered. Such a system of equations admits a twelve-dimensional Lie algebra. In the case of the equation of state of the general form, the equations of gas dynamics admit an eleven-dimensional Lie algebra. For both Lie algebras the optimal systems of non-similar subalgebras are constructed. In this paper two partially invariant submodels of rank 3 defect 1 are constructed for two-dimensional subalgebras of the twelve-dimensional Lie algebra. The reduction of the constructed submodels to invariant submodels of eleven-dimensional and twelve-dimensional Lie algebras is proved.

Схема КАБАРЕ, являющаяся представителем семейства балансно-характеристических методов, широко используется при решении многих задач для систем дифференциальных уравнений гиперболического типа в эйлеровых переменных. Возрастающая актуальность задач взаимодействия деформируемых тел с потоками жидкости и газа требует адаптации этого метода на лагранжевы и смешанные эйлерово-лагранжевы переменные. Ранее схема КАБАРЕ была построена для одномерных уравнений газовой динамики в массовых лагранжевых переменных, а также для трехмерных уравнений динамической упругости. В первом случае построенную схему не удалось обобщить на многомерные задачи, а во втором — использовался необратимый по времени алгоритм передвижения сетки. В данной работе представлено обобщение метода КАБАРЕ на двумерные уравнения газовой динамики и динамической упругости в смешанных эйлерово-лагранжевых и лагранжевых переменных. Построенный метод является явным, легко масштабируемым и обладает свойством временн´ой обратимости. Метод тестируется на различных одномерных и двумерных задачах для обеих систем уравнений (соударение упругих тел, поперечные колебания упругой балки, движение свободной границы идеального газа). The conservative-characteristic CABARET scheme is widely used in solving many problems for systems of differential equations of hyperbolic type in Euler variables. The increasing urgency of the problems of interaction of deformable bodies with liquid and gas flows requires the adaptation of this method to Lagrangian and arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian variables. Earlier, the CABARET scheme was constructed for one-dimensional equations of gas dynamics in mass Lagrangian variables, as well as for three-dimensional equations of dynamic elasticity. In the first case, the constructed scheme could not be generalized to multidimensional problems, and in the second, a time-irreversible grid movement algorithm was used. This paper presents a generalization of the CABARET method to two-dimensional equations of gas dynamics and dynamic elasticity in arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian and Lagrangian variables. The constructed method is explicit, easily scalable, and has the property of temporal reversibility. The method is tested on various one-dimensional and two-dimensional problems for both systems of equations (collision of elastic bodies, transverse vibrations of an elastic beam, motion of the free boundary of an ideal gas).
