Abstract
We show how to combine in a natural way (i.e., without any test nor switch) the conservative and non-conservative formulations of an hyperbolic system that has a conservative form. This is inspired from two different classes of schemes: the residual distribution one (Abgrall in Commun Appl Math Comput 2(3): 341–368, 2020), and the active flux formulations (Eyman and Roe in 49th AIAA Aerospace Science Meeting, 2011; Eyman in active flux. PhD thesis, University of Michigan, 2013; Helzel et al. in J Sci Comput 80(3): 35–61, 2019; Barsukow in J Sci Comput 86(1): paper No. 3, 34, 2021; Roe in J Sci Comput 73: 1094–1114, 2017). The solution is globally continuous, and as in the active flux method, described by a combination of point values and average values. Unlike the “classical” active flux methods, the meaning of the point-wise and cell average degrees of freedom is different, and hence follow different forms of PDEs; it is a conservative version of the cell average, and a possibly non-conservative one for the points. This new class of scheme is proved to satisfy a Lax-Wendroff-like theorem. We also develop a method to perform non-linear stability. We illustrate the behaviour on several benchmarks, some quite challenging.
