Abstract

In the last decades, Godunov schemes are among the most successful methods in simulating compressible flows involving shock waves and discontinuities [18]. Godunov schemes utilize the solution of an Riemann solver at the face of computational cells as the numerical flux to introduce sufficient numerical dissipation [5]. However, some low-dissipation Godunov schemes, such as those with Roe flux, may suffer from numerical instabilities at the strong shock front, known as the carbuncle phenomena, when simulating multi-dimensional high Mach number flows [15].
