We investigate various analytical and numerical techniques for the coupling of nonlinear hyperbolic systems and, in particular, we introduce an augmented formulation that allows for the modelling of the dynamics of interfaces between fluid flows. The main technical difficulty to be overcome lies in the possible resonance effect when wave speeds coincide and global hyperbolicity is lost. As a consequence, non-uniqueness of weak solutions is observed for the initial-value problem, and these solutions need to be supplemented with further admissibility conditions. This paper is devoted to investigating these issues in the setting of self-similar vanishing viscosity approximations to the Riemann problem for general hyperbolic systems. Following earlier works by Joseph, LeFloch and Tzavaras, we establish an existence theorem for the Riemann problem under fairly general structural assumptions on the nonlinear hyperbolic system and its regularization. Our main contribution consists of nonlinear wave interaction estimates for solutions that apply to resonant wave patterns.

We consider the Riemann problem for 2 × 2 hyperbolic systems of conservation laws in one space variable. Our main assumptions are that the product of non-diagonal elements within the Fréchet derivative (Jacobian) of the flux is positive, and that the system is genuinely nonlinear. The first assumption implies that the system is strictly hyperbolic, but we do not require a convexity-like condition such as the Smoller–Johnson condition. By using the shock curve approach, we show that those two assumptions are sufficient to establish the uniqueness of self-similar solutions satisfying the Lax entropy conditions at discontinuities.

Weighted essentially non-oscillatory (WENO) methods are especially efficient for numerically solving nonlinear hyperbolic equations. In order to achieve strong stability and large time-steps, strong stability preserving (SSP) integrating factor (IF) methods were designed in the literature, but the methods there were only for one-dimensional (1D) problems that have a stiff linear component and a non-stiff nonlinear component. In this paper, we extend WENO methods with large time-stepping SSP integrating factor Runge–Kutta time discretization to solve general nonlinear two-dimensional (2D) problems by a splitting method. How to evaluate the matrix exponential operator efficiently is a tremendous challenge when we apply IF temporal discretization for PDEs on high spatial dimensions. In this work, the matrix exponential computation is approximated through the Krylov subspace projection method. Numerical examples are shown to demonstrate the accuracy and large time-step size of the present method.

Abstract In the rectangle Ω = [0, a] × [0, b] the nonlinear hyperbolic equation 𝑢(2,2) = 𝑓(𝑥, 𝑦, 𝑢) with the continuous right-hand side 𝑓 : Ω × ℝ → ℝ is considered. Unimprovable in a sense sufficient conditions of solvability of Dirichlet, Dirichlet–Nicoletti and Nicoletti boundary value problems are established.
