Abstract

We develop, implement and test a new third order accurate MUSCL type finite volume scheme for the two-dimensional Euler equations of compressible fluid flow and compare the scheme with an analogous second order scheme. It turns out that for many applications the third order scheme is less efficient than the second order one.
