Grid method for solution of 2D Riemann type problem with two discontinuities having an initial condition

Abstract

This study aims to obtain the numerical solution of the Cauchy problem for 2D conservation law equation with one arbitrary discontinuity having an initial profile. For this aim, a special auxiliary problem allowing to construct a sensitive method is developed in order to get a weak solution of the main problem. Proposed auxiliary problem also permits us to find entropy condition which guarantees uniqueness of the solution for the auxiliary problem. To compare the numerical solution with the exact solution theoretical structure of the problem under consideration is examined, and then the interplay of shock and rarefaction waves is investigated.
