Numerical solution of a hyperbolic free boundary problem with a method of characteristics

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

For a free boundary problem for a linear hyperbolic system in one space dimension with two unknowns we discuss a numerical algorithm which combines the method of characteristics and the front tracking method. We prove quadratic resp. linear convergence and illustrate this with numerical examples.
