Abstract
We develop a method for the modeling of flow discontinuities which can arise as weak solutions of inviscid conservation laws. Due to its similarity with recently proposed approximate deconvolution models for large-eddy simulation, the method potentially allows for a unified treatment of flow discontinuities and turbulent subgrid scales. A filtering approach is employed since for the filtered evolution equations the solution is smooth and can be solved for by standard central finite-difference schemes without special consideration of discontinuities. A sufficiently accurate representation of the filtered nonlinear combination of discontinuous solution components which arise from the convection term can be obtained by a regularized deconvolution applied to the filtered solution. For stable integration the evolution equations are supplemented by a relaxation regularization based on a secondary filter operation and a relaxation parameter. An estimate for the relaxation parameter is provided. The method is related to the spectral vanishing-viscosity method and the regularized Chapman-Enskog expansion method for conservation laws. We detail the approach and demonstrate its efficiency with the inviscid and viscous Burgers equations, the isothermal shock problem, and the one-dimensional Euler equations.
