A method to trace sharp interface of two fluids in calculations involving shocks. (English) Zbl 0820.76063

The paper concerns with tracing contact discontinuities described by the fluid dynamics equations written in the Eulerian form. Upon splitting the flow equations into the advection and acoustic parts, the advection equation for the transformed density function is introduced. It is stated that the solutions of the resulting set of equations can provide contact discontinuities as sharp fronts described by two grid points. Examples are presented for both compressible and quasi-incompressible flows.
