Modifications in the integration of the source terms in hyperbolic conservation laws such as those governing combustion, detonation and radiative transport, with a first order upwind differencing technique are proposed and analysed. The von Neuman stability and phase error analysis for a linear scalar equation, together with a few test problems is presented in order to compare the performance of the resulting variants of the donor cell scheme. It is established that when the source term is integrated using higher order formulae, the resulting scheme gives better resolution and has better stability limit and phase accuracy, compared to the standard single nodal value replacement. It is shown that integration by the trapezoidal rule gives sufficient accuracy and further improvement may not necessarily be achieved using better methods, such as the Simpson’s rule.

We study one class of nonlinear fluid dynamic models with impulse source terms. The model consists of a system of two hyperbolic conservation laws: a nonlinear conservation law for the goods density and a linear evolution equation for the processing rate. We consider the case when influx-rates in the second equation take the form of impulse functions. Using the vanishing viscosity method and the so-called principle of fictitious controls, we show that entropy solutions to the original Cauchy problem can be approximated by optimal solutions of special optimization problems.
