A generalized Riemann problem solver for a hyperbolic model of two-layer thin film flow (2505.18737v1)

Published 24 May 2025 in math.NA, cs.NA, and math.AP

Abstract: In this paper, a second-order generalized Riemann problem (GRP) solver is developed for a two-layer thin film model. Extending the first-order Godunov approach, the solver is used to construct a temporal-spatial coupled second-order GRP-based finite-volume method. Numerical experiments including comparisons to MUSCL finite-volume schemes with Runge-Kutta time stepping confirm the accuracy, efficiency and robustness of the higher-order ansatz. The construction of GRP methods requires to compute temporal derivatives of intermediate states in the entropy solution of the generalized Riemann problem. These derivatives are obtained from the Rankine-Hugoniot conditions as well as a characteristic decomposition using Riemann invariants. Notably, the latter can be computed explicitly for the two-layer thin film model, which renders this system to be very suitable for the GRP approach. Moreover, it becomes possible to determine the derivatives in an explicit, computationally cheap way.
