Abstract

Lower order errors downstream of a shock layer have been detected in computations with non-constant solutions when using higher order shock capturing schemes in one and two dimensions, [3]. We analyze the steady state solution of slightly viscous hyperbolic systems of conservation laws using matched asymptotic expansions. The result explains why O(h)-errors can appear in smooth regions downstream of a shock layer. The numerical solution of quasi one-dimensional nozzle flow illustrate the analysis.
