Mathematical Models and Computer Simulations Aims and scope

Abstract

Numerical analysis has shown that high order finite-volume WENO schemes have only the first order of convergence in the smooth part of a weak solution behind a shock front. The order of integral convergence of the difference solution is found to estimate the accuracy of the translation of the Rankine-Hugoniot conditions through the shock front.
